Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion
9:30 am
Dr. Rory Boyd:
My private practice was closed for nine weeks. We were given the option if we felt it appropriate to reopen to what level we determined. Within the HSE the dentists were redeployed for 18 to 24 months because they were also involved in the testing and then they were involved in the vaccination services. The HSE dentists were taken out of their operations for a drastically longer period than we were in private practice.
