Dental Services
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-26
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

This question is about the dental treatment services scheme, DTSS. I am aware there have been talks between the Minister and the Irish Dental Association, IDA, over the last number of months and that some movement has been made. Unfortunately, from the association's perspective, it does not appear to be enough. I am seeking an update from the Minister on the current position. Does he believe we can attract more dentists into the DTSS given the impact it is having on medical card holders?
