Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Dympna Kavanagh:

I will speak about them briefly from a policy perspective before handing over to my colleagues from the HSE. We have spoken about integrated care. It is important for us to be part of an overall health team. All of the supports included in the policy indicate that we will be seen as primary care members who are the equivalents of the other health teams.
