Question:

430. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health if he will outline the immediate steps which are being taken to trace children who had second-hand braces fitted in view of the discovery that a Health Service Executive dentist was selling used orthodontic braces which were due for incineration on the black market into private practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The HSE became aware of this matter in 2009. It was investigated at that time and the practices referred to by the Deputy ceased. I have asked the HSE to advise me if there are any outstanding issues that may need to be addressed.
