I welcome the Minister of State to the House to discuss this issue. My concerns relate to a health centre in Castleknock. My understanding is that the centre might not have a sufficient number of dentists to deal with emergencies and routine treatment of children in the area. I ask the Minister of State to consider that in the light of my concerns.

I have written to the Health Service Executive about the issue and received no less than two letters stating that an investigation is being carried out over a period of some six weeks. In view of the impending summer recess, I decided to raise this matter on the Adjournment. I await the Minister of State's reply.
