Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Oral Health Policy: Discussion
Dr. John Marley:
I will deal with the theme common between Deputy Durkan's first two questions, namely, the idea of engagement. The idea of meaningful engagement was raised earlier but there is also the concept of engagement fatigue. That we are appearing before the committee should be an index of the fatigue and frustration we feel as bodies and it should speak volumes. I will hand over to Mr. Hourihan to address the other issues because I am not an expert on them.
