Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-30
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I look favourably on the amendment but I cannot accept it in the context of this Bill. As we have discussed here previously, the current dental treatment services scheme is not fit for purpose. As we develop a broader response to oral healthcare, which we must do on a legislative basis, we certainly will be cognisant of this amendment within what will be a fuller updating of the 1985 Act.
