The HSE has commissioned an independent review of orthodontic services. The outcome of this review will give guidance as to what changes will be desirable to provide the best possible model of care delivery, given the current resources available and future demand for services. The HSE has been asked to reply directly to the Deputy regarding the provision of orthodontic services in Laois and Offaly.
