I have some questions for the Department representatives. This is not a crisis that has developed overnight. There is a timeline over the past five years where there has been a downward spiral of dentists participating in the scheme.

What actions are being taken by the Department to address this major crisis, which is impacting so many people in terms of access to dental services?
