Ceist:

256 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo did not receive orthodontic treatment; if this person can be re-assessed; and the way in which the health board can help this person. [29181/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of orthodontic treatment to eligible persons in County Mayo rests with the Western Health Board. My Department has asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
