If the Deputy wants to send me a note on that, I will get back to him with detailed points on it. We are very much aware of the long waiting lists for orthodontics. It is one of the areas that is funded in the waiting list action plan. Good progress has been made, as he said, for the children most in need of the most urgent care. I would like to see the waiting list action plan expanded next year. Waiting list initiatives have funding next year of in excess of €400 million. If the Deputy wants to send me a note specific to his local area, I will make sure the HSE gets back to him.
