Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Joe Green:
I will be in that area tomorrow and I will follow up with the Deputy directly on what is happening at the moment. There was a dentist in Balbriggan who left the service at the end of January, so I will follow up with the Deputy on that dentist's replacement. There has been a 15% increase in population in the community healthcare organisation, CHO, of Dublin north city and county and it is impacting on our orthodontic service as well. It is a serious question.
