Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association

Dr. Caroline Robins:

No, I am talking about children and adults. We are constantly putting out fires. We never get to the end. The medical card scheme does not allow me to get my patient disease free. It just cannot any more. It is a vicious cycle. It is no wonder that dentists are leaving in frustration. I feel like I am pushing uphill year after year but I am still in it. Perhaps I am a foolish optimist but I want it to get better, because it has to be about the patient.
