Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment has been made on the number of orthodontic dentists required per 1.5 million people.

Dr. Mawhinney

No assessment has been made by the Department. The planning and provision of dental treatment is a matter for district health authorities to undertake jointly with family health services authorities.
