Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Alison Dougall:

Special care dentistry is a specialty in some countries, along with many other specialties. To retain or train staff in regard to treating those with disabilities, a career structure is required, as is the case with every specialty, because that will get people interested in it. I will hand over to Dr. Kavanagh, who will address policy.
