Dr. Dympna Kavanagh:

I will respond to the Deputy's earlier questions and I will then hand over to my colleagues to respond to the others. If I understood him correctly, the Deputy's first question was if the public is aware of current public system entitlements? The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, TILDA, and marketing research with the public through Amárach found that the public did not have an understanding of their entitlements or what was available to them. Those involved in TILDA might want to pick up on that issue. In terms of the current arrangement in the public dental service for children, ideally pupils are seen at second, fourth and sixth class level although in general it appears that second and sixth class are the main focus. Emergency services are provided beyond that, and disability services as well.
