Question:

185 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will intervene on behalf of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo and ensure he is called for his dental treatment in view of the extenuating circumstances (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3922/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

As the provision of orthodontic services 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 board to investigate the position in relation to this case and to reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
