The Guidelines referred to by the Deputy were developed by The Orthodontic Review Group established by the Health Service Executive in 2006.

As the implementation of the new guidelines is the responsibility of the Executive, 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.
