Question:

494 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Wexford was ineligible for dental treatment from the health centre; if there is other assistance available for the costs of their dental treatment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Responsibility for the provision of dental treatment for eligible persons in County Wexford rests with the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
