Question:

78 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo received a bill for £250 for orthodontic treatment in view of the fact that the treatment has been ongoing since her assessment in sixth class and her family understood the treatment was free.

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

I have asked the Western Health Board for a comprehensive report on this issue and I will communicate again with the Deputy on the matter as soon as possible.
