I support Senator Finucane's call for a debate on orthodontic services. Following the publication of a report on this issue by a sub-committee of the Joint Committee on Health and Children, it is timely to have a debate on the matter. I am aware there is a problem with this service in the mid-west. I am pleased to say, however, that because of the proactive approach of a consultant orthodontist, the four midland counties of Longford, Westmeath, Laois and Offaly enjoy excellent orthodontic services. I ask the Leader to arrange a debate on this issue in the autumn during which I will outline the progress that has been made in revolutionising the service in the midlands.
