Maybe not. The point I am making is that here we are now, many years later, and we have regressed this much. I want direct answers. What is the budget for the scheme this year? Who is to provide it? Is it to be provided by private or public dentists? Who is in charge of it? What is being done to address this issue? Will Mr. Watt clarify this in his answers? He might answer my next question now on the hoof. Is it a policy of the Department to say to the HSE that where it cannot get a private dentist to engage, it should directly employ a dentist? Is there any direction from the Department in that regard?
