Ceist:

78 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo received a bill for £250 for orthodontic treatment in view of the fact that the treatment has been ongoing since her assessment in sixth class and her family understood the treatment was free. [16552/97]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

I have asked the Western Health Board for a comprehensive report on this issue and I will communicate again with the Deputy on the matter as soon as possible.
