Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a specific matter of local and national importance requiring urgent attention, namely, the need for the Minister for Health and Children to properly fund and staff the public orthodontic service and widen substantially the orthodontic guidelines used to approve children for treatment as the current service is almost non-existent and parents are being forced to pay thousands of euro for each of their children to have private treatment. Will the Minister make a statement on the matter?
