New Direct Access, thoughts please?

The team at Flame Health Dentistry would like to know the thoughts from Dental professionals about the recent news from the GDC.
The GDC is considering removing restrictions that prevent patients seeing any member of the dental team until after they’ve seen a dentist for a referral.
This proposed change is called 'direct access'. It would mean that registered dental care professionals would have the option to provide services to patients without the patient having to see a dentist first.
Earlier this year the Office of Fair Trading called for the changes to be made as soon as possible and the Department of Health has welcomed that call.
What are your thoughts?
