Ceist:

[3086/95]

Limerick East): The guidelines issued by my Department to health boards for the provisions of orthodontic treatment at secondary care level are subject to continuing review. My Department, together with the health boards and their consultant orthodontists, will be meeting in the near future to review progress in the development of the consultant-led orthodontic service in the health boards.
