We will have to examine carefully the treatment of the elderly because additional beds are required in this regard. Up to a few years ago, orthodontics was a particular specialty that caused shivers to run up and down the back of every public representative. I am a member of the Joint Committee on Health and Children, which invited orthodontists' representatives from various areas to speak about the difficulties they were experiencing. In the Midland Health Board area, Longford does not have a waiting list and services are provided pretty well on demand within departmental guidelines. In Westmeath, a new surgery has opened in Athlone where the waiting list is down to one year, although we will have to improve upon that. In Mullingar the waiting list is also one year but the new clinic will improve that situation. In Offaly, the waiting list is down to ten months, while originally it was a year longer. County Laois has no waiting list due to the new dental clinic, which has accreditation for training. Two orthodontists are currently in training there, in addition to one for Longford-Westmeath and another for Laois-Offaly. Two further orthodontists are training in Guy's Hospital, London, and funding for that has been provided by the Department of Health and Children. Nationally, some 20 orthodontists are currently in training.
