The provision of orthodontic treatment to eligible persons in the Kerry area is the statutory responsibility of the Southern Health Board.
I have had inquiries made of the Southern Health Board. I have been advised by the board that the number of children on the board's waiting list for orthodontic treatment for Kerry is 873.
