This might hurt a little bit

Article Abstract:

In the south-east of England dentists are changing to private treatment from NHS without warning. An East Sussex Family Health Authority survey found many complaints about lack of notice of withdrawal of NHS service. Dentists find wages and rents higher in the region but no allowances are given in the new contract. A wider range of treatment is expected by the government with a reduction in fees. The annual NHS figure for a child of 13 is 27 pounds sterling, insufficient to pay for their fillings. NHS charges are 75% of the cost, up to 225 pounds sterling. Poor people are likely to choose the cheaper service such as having a tooth removed rather than root treatment, so the state of the nation's dental health will deteriorate.

All feel a little safer now?

Article Abstract:

Articles in the media about the transmission of Aids by Roy Cornes in Birmingham gave false impressions. Anal and vaginal intercourse can transmit HIV. Epidemiological studies provide data on HIV transmission between husbands and wives but an individual may be infected for 10 years before any symptoms of Aids become apparent. There is limited information available about sexual behaviour in Britain in the 90's but the Wellcome Trust is funding such a study.

Grand facades and little boxes, beloved of a million Pooters

Article Abstract:

There is still a strong interest in terraced housing, a form of housing which is very typically British. Terraces have been a dominant form in the UK for two hundred years, having been regarded as the ideal solution to rapidly rising demand for accommodation. They are now becoming very popular again, especially among the middle classes, who regard them as a flexible and secure form of accommodation.
