Question:

502 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for Health and Children the progress which has been made in providing orthodontic treatment for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11; and the reason no contact has been made with this person for some considerable time. [12082/03]

Responsibility for the provision of orthodontic treatment for eligible persons in Dublin 11 rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
