Irish Medicines Board (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2005: Committee Stage (Resumed).
5:00 pm
Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)
Two issues arise in this regard. Some parents experience major difficulties obtaining an appointment to see an orthodontist and, once they obtain an appointment, they find they are liable to pay considerable amounts of money for the treatment, in some cases amounting to thousands of euro. In addition, medical card holders are not covered. This anomaly needs to be addressed.
