281. Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Health the position regarding an appointment for emergency orthodontic treatment for a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37056/15]

The Minister has no role in the setting of appointments by Dublin Dental Hospital. I understand that the individual concerned has been placed on a general waiting list for non-urgent dental work and will be contacted as soon as an appointment is available.
