Dr. John Marley:

As an addendum, it would be important to note that if the concerns expressed by our colleagues in the Irish Dental Association come to fruition and the default, in terms of managing patients, is referral to tertiary centres, there will not be much time to deal with the head and-or neck cancer patients and other patients who should be treated in tertiary and quaternary centres because there will be a tsunami of referrals coming in. Without that succession of management and training of specialists to deal with that, we will have a big problem down the line.
