Dr. Kavanagh will have to accept that is very hard for me to go back to a parent to say that I am waiting for another report. What we are looking for in Cork is action. We do not have orthodontists employed by the HSE so the HSE must consider alternatives but the response is not fast enough. It is not good enough that I would have to go back to a parent today and say that I do not have any further information and there is a chance his or her child will still be on the waiting list in four years time. That seems to be the answer I am getting today.
