Dental Health Foundation report
The Minister had seen the Foundation’s press release and said he was preparing a comprehensive dental services development programme, to be announced when ready.
asked the Minister for Health if he has seen the recent report on dental health from the Dental Health Foundation; and the measures, if any, he intends to take to improve the standards of dental care and dental health in Ireland.
Comment on this
I have seen a press release issued recently by the Dental Health Foundation. I assume this is the recent report to which the Deputy refers.
I have already indicated on a number of occasions that I am preparing a comprehensive development programme for the dental services. I shall inform Deputies as soon as I am in a position to announce plans to improve these services.
