I just wanted to say how pleased I was with the news story ARF FEE TOO HIGH SAY DENTAL NURSES in the autumn issue of Vital (page 10).

I was a little disappointed, however, that the link for the online petition wasn't included. Please could I ask all Vital readers to sign the petition in protest of the cost of the annual retention fee (ARF) for GDC registration. The link is as follows: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/dentalnurses/ With thanks.
