Brian Stanley: I understand it is frustrating for the Deputy. That is why I want to try to get the Deputy an answer. I want to get some answer in relation to the child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, teams.

Brian Stanley: If this is acceptable, I would ask that the officials would come back to the Deputy with a written answer on what is being done specifically in relation to CAMHS. I am mindful of that, but I am also mindful of the fact that the Deputy will not be back because she has parliamentary duties that she cannot avoid. I am mindful of that and watching that. We will get everyone in.

Brian Stanley: I will let the Deputy in for a second round. A few people will not show up. Deputy Carthy is taking Leaders' Questions, Deputy Munster has a bereavement and there are a few other gaps. I will try to get people in a second time. Will Mr. Reid focus on the dental scheme? I will deal with the dental treatment services scheme, DTSS, first. The scheme does not exist in many counties....

Brian Stanley: That is okay. It was just to clarify that. There are negotiations going on and I do not want the officials to announce what is going on but we are dealing with thousands of private businesses because each dental practice is a private business. That is fair enough. I am not hung up on that. It is the business they are in. They have all come together and they have an association with...

Brian Stanley: Will that be back before us in two or three years time? That is what I am concerned about. The system has been problematic going back years. It is about Government policy but Government policy is now to move to Sláintecare. Mr. Watt and I know what Sláintecare is about: it is a public health system. I do not want to be too ideological about it but it generally means that we...

Brian Stanley: Okay. Here is where I have the problem. As I have said here before, I saw a dentist when I was eight or nine years old. My grandchild is 16 years and has not seen a school dentist. I am not here to fight her battle but I am trying to illustrate that the system is not working when it comes to primary school dentistry. Health professionals and common sense tell us that it is about a stitch...
