Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. David O'Flynn:

We are engaging with our colleagues in the UK and there is legislation going through the UK Parliament to allow that. They cannot do it at the moment. The issue is more a prohibition, from a legislative point of view, on the General Dental Council in the UK entering into an agreement with us, rather than a lack of goodwill on either side. There is goodwill on both sides to conclude this as soon as it can be done. That is our intention. We are open to looking at those kind of agreements with other countries as well.
