I fully agree. We report on the oral health and community based waiting lists. The categories about which we spoke yesterday are the acute categories that are reported by the National Treatment Purchase Fund. We have allocated €5 million specifically for the backlog relating to orthodontic treatment. Far too many children are waiting to be seen. That numbers on that list went up, and we are determined to bring them back down. We will be reporting on progress made.
