Minister of State at the Department of Health

There has been a recent reorganisation of dental services for children in County Monaghan.

The HSE has been asked to examine the specific query raised by the Deputy in relation to Ballybay and to reply to him as soon as possible. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with it.
