Ceist:

155 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Wexford was not entitled to free dental treatment; the assistance now available to the parents who cannot afford private treatment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22451/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of dental services to eligible persons in County Wexford rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
