- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: The Minister agrees that there is a blind spot and that it might be a good idea to resolve this issue but there are no meaningful negotiations. Earlier on, we were talking about selecting a dentist. I do not want the wrong message to go out. There are people who have travelled abroad who are very happy with the treatment they got. Is there a sort of checklist people can use when selecting...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: The witnesses spoke about the impact the challenges have on people when accessing proper oral health. Is there prioritisation within the public health screening? Referring particularly to schools, is there a priority for DEIS schools in the roll-out of that screening or is it taken on the fact that there is a dentist in that particular area? It was alluded to earlier that some areas are...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: The other one and the most important is that meaningful negotiations be opened up. It seems bizarre that has not happened. We have been getting Dáil replies suggesting otherwise. We have not looked at the IDA’s relationship with the Dental Council. What does that entail?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: We mentioned training. We have had correspondence over the years criticising the standard of training in Ireland compared to other jurisdictions, particularly Britain. There is some discussion about that. Does the IDA have a view on that? Is there a gap between training in both jurisdictions?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: Would people undertaking specialties normally go to Britain to upskill? Does this come down to the fact that there is no recognition here? They are upskilling themselves. It would be normal in the medical profession, for example, for people to travel abroad to upskill, etc.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: Okay. To sum up, we said we would look at the workforce plan. Some of the members suggested we would have a session on this topic. It has been raised in many meetings regarding aspects of the health service. The new dental college has been granted full planning permission. We will follow up on this and see where it is within the scheme of things, especially regarding the budgetary...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Seán Crowe: Again, we can pursue with the Minister whether there are plans in this regard and if this is a priority for his Department. Unless there is anything else, I thank the representatives of the Irish Dental Association for their engagement with the committee on the strategic workforce plan. A broad range of matters have been raised and the committee will reflect on these carefully. We will...

Seán Crowe: 495. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth when he expects the transport support scheme to come into operation; if the scheme will encompass both public and private transport; if he agrees that ten years without such a scheme has created an unnecessary cost burden on those who would benefit from such a scheme; and if he will make a statement on the...
