It is something that is worth considering. I will certainly raise that up the line. On education, we all know the basics. We try to further that legislatively, whether through tobacco legislation, sugar tax, the Healthy Ireland framework or different measures such as those. Could more be done within our school system in terms of education? I am talking about the importance of oral health and not just telling kids they have to get a filling or get a tooth out. I hear every so often about the consequences of other health problems arising from gum disease or a tooth abscess that is not taken care of. Is there a need for greater education?
