Will Mr. Hourihan give us an example of a child who should and would be seen through a properly resourced public intervention system? We have such a system today but it is not properly resourced. Let us assume the proper resources are provided and the system functions as it should. In the context of these new proposals, will Mr. Hourihan outline what will happen to children who will no longer benefit from intervention because their parents, for whatever reason, may not bring them to the dentist?
