The witnesses spoke about the impact the challenges have on people when accessing proper oral health. Is there prioritisation within the public health screening? Referring particularly to schools, is there a priority for DEIS schools in the roll-out of that screening or is it taken on the fact that there is a dentist in that particular area? It was alluded to earlier that some areas are worse than others. How is that done? Is due to geographical location or is it is purely down to where there is a dentist operating in that particular area?
