There are a couple of things. First, a new dental school has been opened by the Royal College of Surgeons in Sandyford. It is a community-based “treat and train” model, which is bringing in 35 patients this year. That will continue to grow, and there is a plan for a similar model in Connolly Hospital. The Deputy is right that there are fewer dentists doing HSE work, and we want them to do that work. We have increased the fees by, I think, 47%, although I would like to confirm that.
