Question:128 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Health and Children if there is a dental surgeon attached to a public hospital in Kilkenny; and, if not, when this appointment will be made. [23002/99]
Written Answers. - Dental Service.
The provision of dental services in the Kilkenny area is the statutory responsibility of the South Eastern Health Board. I understand from the board that it does not have a dental surgeon attached to Kilkenny General Hospital on a full-time basis; however, a dental surgeon provides a session of three hours one day per week in the day ward there for children and adults.
