No, it is not sustainable and that differential in money is not fair. This is why the emergency services are attempted to be covered by the HSE. We really do need to move to that new oral policy which provides fair and open access to people across every community and in a targeted way. That is about prevention as much as about emergency care. I appreciate what the Deputy has said about accidents, which is a slightly different thing, but this is about general oral healthcare. We need to focus on the implementation of that new policy, which is aligned with Sláintecare in providing care where it is needed and when it is needed at the right time.
