I propose to take Questions Nos. 186 and 210 together.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive (HSE) under the Health Act 2004. The HSE's responsibility includes implementing the recommendations of the Orthodontic Review Group. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the questions raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have these matters investigated and a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
