I will stay on the community support side and some of the subsidiary supports. I thank the witnesses for their opening statement, but also the detailed report that was provided. It is great to see a report that focuses specifically on well-being as a result of a condition. We do not always get to look at it in a holistic way. Some of the issues I picked out relate to mental health and dental care. That longer report referred to an issue around dental care and accessing dental care. The report states the centrality of Dublin alleviates some of that but that in Austria, for example, training of specialists in dental support was undertaken. I ask the witnesses to expand on where we are in Ireland with regard to the accessibility of dental services for people experiencing EB.
