Dr. Dympna Kavanagh:

To add to Mr. Judge's comments on the national oral health policy, I can reassure the committee that work has been going on in the background, particularly with respect to services. A national clinical guideline group has been established and a chairperson has been appointed to look in particular at background to ensure when we are ready to do the review, we know what the packages will contain. We will look at all the infrastructure and the appropriate management and guidelines for clinicians. That time will not be wasted in future. There are other aspects relating to the Dental Act etc. and they are ongoing in the background.
