Question 444: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in County Mayo can be reassessed for orthodontic treatment in view of the fact that they have been told that they need it, that the Health Service Executive is refusing to treat them, and their family cannot afford to pay for private orthodontic treatment as they are already paying private orthodontic costs for another of their children; and if a reassessment will be scheduled as a matter of urgency.

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
