Vol. 357 No. 7

Written Answers. - Dental Services.

668.

asked the Minister for Health if he will provide dental treatment for school children in rural areas in the same way as dental treatment is being provided for children in urban districts under a scheme operated between the private dentists and the health boards; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

With very few exceptions the services of private dentists are not availed of by the health boards in the provision of dental treatment for school children. In those exceptional areas where the services of private dentists are availed of no distinction is made between children from rural and urban areas.
