Vol. 443 No. 4

Written Answers. - Orthodontic Treatment.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

175 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health when orthodontic treatment will be given in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24 who has been deemed in need of attention by a private orthodontist but who, it would appear, will have to wait at least another two years before category two patients, of which he is one, will receive attention; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The provision of orthodontic treatment to eligible persons in Dublin 24 is the responsibility of the Eastern Health Board in the first instance and I have referred this matter to the chief executive officer of the Eastern Health Board for his immediate attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
