Health Services: Motion.
The big, glossy report published before the election spoke of all the marvellous things that were going to happen. Although it said what we would all want, the Government knew the funding was not available. Some of it was Disneyland stuff. Senator Glynn told us that no one in Longford is waiting for orthodontic treatment – good luck to them. Anyone asking a representative from the Mid-Western Health Board region about the type of orthodontic service available would find that there are massive waiting lists. People cannot wait to be treated publicly and they borrow money to pay for private treatment.
