John Perry

Question:

116 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be called for orthodontic treatment in view of the length of time she is on the waiting list; if he will make a favourable decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23811/99]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

As the provision of orthodontic treatment to eligible persons in County Sligo is the statutory responsibility of the North Western Health Board, I have asked the chief executive officer of the North Western Health Board to investigate the position in this case and to reply to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
