Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Oral Health Policy: Discussion

Dr. John Marley:

That is a question one would have to ask the Government. To bring up what Mr. Hourihan said earlier about meaningful engagement, if I was developing a healthcare policy, I would want to engage the main stakeholders proactively. I would want to listen to what they have to say. I would want to return commentary on that as a show of respect. I would want to make a contemporaneous return on that and then, through action, show that that input was valued. I do not see evidence of that within this document, from the perspective of the Faculty of Dentistry and our concerns about postgraduate training.
