Can the committee be given a comprehensive list of examples, if such exists? Those examples are very interesting.

I presume the resourcing of the school screening service by the HSE is having a knock-on effect, with people presenting with issues that should have been picked up in the school setting and have not been. I have come across cases where people were not picked up as having an underbite or overbite, which puts a cost on parents to sort out when a child turns 16 years and has missed the window.

Deputy Lahart touched on the issue of vitamin D. We launched a report yesterday. Is there anecdotal evidence of dietary issues impacting on oral health at the moment? I know there are fortified foods, but let us take the example of reduced dairy intake among some young people. Is that presenting in terms of oral health problems?
