The number of customers treated nationwide under the PRSI Dental Treatment Benefit Scheme, and the total paid to dentists for their work on the scheme, in the years 2017 to 2020 inclusive are detailed below.

Statistics on uptake by customers at a county or part county level, or the number of treatments provided to residents of any specific county or part of a county are not collated by the Department and as a result are not available.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
