Mr. David O'Flynn:

There are two key elements. One, as I mentioned, is the introduction of a statutory competence scheme for dentists. The other element, on which we agree with the Irish Dental Association in its submission, is the need for comprehensive regulation of dental practices. That regulation should have three legs to it. One is a register that would tell us who owns dental practices. The second is a statutory code of conduct. The third is the ability to inspect practices. The whole practice regulation aspect is the key element that is missing at the moment. It probably is a development for the longer term but we hope a continued competence scheme is something we could work on in the short term.
