Question 230: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that there is a minimal dentist service available in the Cavan Monaghan region and a schoolchild (details supplied) in County Monaghan due for a dental appointment in September or October 2007 has been told no such appointment is available due to no dentist being available; her views on whether this could have serious consequences for the child's future; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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.
