340. Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24 was taken off the orthodontic treatment programme; when the written letter of appeal to recommence treatment dated 25 August 2014 will be responded to; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47174/14]

I have asked the HSE to investigate this matter and respond to the Deputy as soon as possible. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
