Chronic Disease Dental Scheme Closure

I came across this at the BGF site. I'm still confused, I guess will ask my GP about it as I'm sure he'd know. So how the hell do I access services after Dec 1st then?

Chronic Disease Dental Scheme Closure (CDDS)

The closure of the chronic disease dental scheme has just been announced. This covered all people with HIV. The replacement scheme covers children and all people on low income but the public services to meet the increased demand by and large do not yet exist. People Living with HIV have one week to make new care plans that can take advantage of the old scheme until 1st December.
