Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health the waiting lists for dental checks for children of six, nine and 12 years of age, by county, in tabular form; the areas where there is a delay in children receiving these checks; what he is doing to ensure they receive checks in a timely manner; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days she should contact my Private Office and it will follow up the matter with the HSE.
