247. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health the status of the supply of PPE to dentists. [12408/21]
View answerThe Government has provided the HSE with an overall budget of €450 million for PPE in 2021, for all parts of the health service.
As the Deputy will appreciate, there are many competing demands for that PPE, and the provision of PPE to private dentists contracted by the HSE is being considered in that context.
