Mr. Robert Watt:

In fairness to Mr. Thompson, it is not his area. There are issues here, as the Chair will be aware, around private dentists opting out of the scheme. As he referenced, that means in certain parts of the country the coverage is not there. There may not be publicly employed dentists. The Chair will be aware of the changes we have made in terms of increasing the allocation to the polish and scale scheme and keeping the dentists involved. I will come back to the Chair on the specific parliamentary question he asked and on the exact position in the area he is referring to.
