My Department, in 2002, arranged with the National Treatment Purchase Fund to provide treatment for persons on the orthodontic waiting list. If proposals are made to me by the Health Service Executive regarding a further use of the Fund towards this waiting list it will be considered. However, no decision can be taken on such a proposal until it is fully assessed.
