...the State should fund or provide directly through its own dental service within the HSE. As I will go on to explain, the complete collapse in the HSE dental service, designed to provide care primarily for children and special care patients, means that the arrival of tens of thousands of vulnerable adults into dentists' clinics has placed huge stress on the system and on those who are...
