What are the Minister's plans to expand public dentistry services? I have spoken to the Minister previously about orthodontic care. I refer in particular to the hundreds of under-18s who are on the waiting lists for orthodontic treatment. In my area, I refer to the centre based in Louth County Hospital. Category four cases are being dealt with privately and huge amounts are being spent on those. We are glad to see people receiving treatment but category five cases, which are more critical, are not being treated and people are still waiting on a solution.
