AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) The Boulder Dental Clinic will not be closing. There is a dentist vacancy at the Boulder Dental Clinic. Temporary relief - I think the answer refers to the person - has been arranged until mid-November while another dentist is recruited to fill the vacancy. However, there will be a gap in the relief cover for approximately one week from Monday, 25 September 2000.
