The Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee will conclude its work this Parliament in March 2026 ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election. So the Committee has time to complete its work, it has agreed not to consider petitions submitted after 10 October.
The Committee will continue to meet but given the volume of petitions and agreed work programme it is unlikely that the Committee would be able to meaningfully progress work on petitions submitted after 10 October ahead of the election. Petitions lodged after this date will not fall when the Parliament is dissolved and will be for the successor committee to consider in the new session.
If you are seeking urgent action or policy change please contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly.
Under consideration PE2187: Reinstate 6-monthly dental check-ups for state pensioners
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to reinstate 6-monthly dental check-ups for state pensioners.
Background information
At my age, my teeth need more attention than ever.
It was 14 months between my last 2 check-ups as my dentist went sick when I was due to attend.
In between these check-ups, both my wife and I needed dental treatment.
I feel I am being pushed towards going private.
