69. To ask the Minister for Health the reason he is allowing a situation to arise at Letterkenny University Hospital where the necessary infrastructure and staff are not being provided to the orthodontic department there and as a result clinics are being cancelled on a continuous basis and waiting lists are growing; why there is no radiography equipment available in-house for the orthodontic department at the hospital; when a full complement of six dental nurses will be made available to the orthodontics department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
