Written Answers. - Orthodontic Treatment Provision.

Liz McManus

Ceist:

203 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health if, in view of the need of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow to have orthodontic treatment, he will ensure that this person will be treated as a matter of urgency, in view of the fact that the orthodontic waiting lists are now rising to in excess of 3.5 years in the Bray area.

Minister for Health (Mr. Howlin)

The provision of orthodontic treatment in County Wicklow is the responsibility of the Eastern Health Board in the first instance and I have referred this matter to the Chief Executive Officer of the Eastern Health Board for his immediate attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
