Vol. 572 No. 3
359 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of patients awaiting dental treatment in the Southern Health Board area; the breakdown of numbers in Cork and Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23008/03]
Responsibility for the provision of dental services to eligible persons in Counties Kerry and Cork rests with the Southern Health Board, SHB.
The information requested by the Deputy is not routinely collected by my Department. Therefore, the chief executive officer of the SHB has been requested to provide the information sought directly to the Deputy.
