Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

If the Deputy would not mind, we are all entitled to speak. One of her colleagues gave an example the last time we had a debate on this of a case where a dentist refused to treat a patient under the DTSS, but took the patient back when they were in agony and willing to pay privately. I do not believe that is acceptable. The Government has a role, but dentists should sign up to the scheme and should provide treatment to people with medical cards.
