The Health Service Executive (HSE) established an Orthodontic Review Group in 2006. One of the terms of reference for the group was to review the recommendations contained in the Joint Oireachtas Committee Reports on the Orthodontic Service in Ireland (February, 2002 and June, 2005). The Review Group's report was approved by the HSE's Management Team and published 2007. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the question raised by the Deputy. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
