I look favourably on the amendment but I cannot accept it in the context of this Bill. As we have discussed here previously, the current dental treatment services schemes is not fit for purpose. As we develop a broader response to oral healthcare, which we must do on a legislative basis, we certainly will be cognisant of this amendment within what will be a fuller updating of the 1985 Act.
