I presume the Deputy's question refers to that portion of the Cork Health Authority area known as the Cork West area. The number of applicants for dentures in the Cork West area in the years ended 31st December, 1961, and 31st December, 1962, were 115 and 364 respectively. During the period from 1st January to 30th June, 1963, the number of applicants was 168. There are at present 72 persons on the waiting list for dentures.
