I thank our visitors for their presentation and for attending. I would like to check some of the figures. There was a stark, stand-out figure that the spending on the DTSS dropped by 36% between 2017 and 2020. How do the witnesses account for that? Has that been a problem on the part of the State or is it that fewer dentists are participating in the scheme?
