100 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children when he plans to expand the current dental treatment for children beyond those under 14 years of age; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15234/97]
The dental health action plan provides for the extension of dental treatment services to children up to 16 years of age. I propose to introduce this extension according as the necessary additional resources become available.
