Vol. 573 No. 2

Written Answers. - Health Board Services.

Olivia Mitchell

Ceist:

116 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Science the policy justifications for denying optical and dental benefits to a parent if their child goes to a private primary school instead of a State national primary school. [24671/03]

My Department does not operate an optical and dental benefit scheme and I am not therefore in a position to comment on the matter raised by the Deputy. It appears that this matter would be more appropriate to my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children.
