Michael Fitzmaurice
Question:317. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Health his plans to replace dental X-ray facilities at the orthodontic department at Merlin Park hospital, in view of the fact that children throughout counties Galway, Mayo and Roscommon have had to wait up to three years for an appointment and now find that a safe diagnostic service cannot be provided and also that the orthodontic department cannot take on any new patients; when he will replace the equipment that is necessary; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
