asked the Minister for Health the estimated expenditure of health authorities on dental services in the current year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Expenditure on Dental Services.

It is estimated that in the current financial year the expenditure by health authorities on dental services will be £130,000 of which one half is recoupable from the Vote for my Department.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, I should perhaps mention that expenditure on the Dental Benefit Scheme operated by the Department of Social Welfare is about £290,000 a year.
