Question:

124 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will instruct the Department of Preventive and Paediatric Dentistry in University College, Cork, to include dental hygiene which is urgently required for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny when this person attends for an appointment on 29 November. [30223/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

In this instance responsibility for the provision of dental treatment to the person referred to by the Deputy rests with the Cork Dental School and Hospital. My Department has therefore asked the administrative officer of this dental school and hospital to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
