Ceist:

332 Mr. Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason no dental service is available at the Athy health centre, Athy, County Kildare; if there is a waiting list for dental treatment at the centre; the plans or mechanism in place to deal with applicants for dental treatment at the centre; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
