How it is proposed to deal with the waiting list of five years in Cork? We do not have enough orthodontists employed in the public service to deal with it but there are people working in the private sector who could provide the service. What do the Department and the HSE propose to do with this list? Is it a case of waiting until it gets to six, seven or eight years? When will action be taken on it?
