Vol. 475 No. 6
100 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for Health the number of persons on the orthodontic waiting list in categories a, b and c; the number of patients treated from each list in the last year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5586/97]
Limerick East): The provision of orthodontic treatment services and the maintenance of waiting lists is the statutory responsibility of the health boards. Accordingly I have asked the chief executive officer of each health board to provide the information requested directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
