437. To ask the Minister for Health the reason there are waiting lists for dental treatment in Navan, County Meath, where young persons on the list since 2009 are only now being seen; if he will indicate what happens to young persons who cease to qualify for treatment on age grounds despite never having been seen; the number of young persons on the waiting list in the area and the types of treatment they are awaiting; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The HSE is responsible for providing dental care to schoolchildren. The matter has therefore been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
