I propose to take Questions Nos. 952 and 956 together.

The HSE provides orthodontic treatment to patients based on their level of clinical need. An individual's access to orthodontic treatment is determined against a set of clinical guidelines and priority is given to patients with greatest needs. The HSE has been asked to examine the specific queries raised by the Deputy and to reply to him as soon as possible.
