Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I am aware that many dentists around the country have withdrawn from the dental treatment services scheme, DTSS, which is the medical card scheme. I am not sure about the details in Mayo specifically but many dentists have withdrawn from the scheme in different parts of the country. The budget for the scheme is being increased and discussions with the Irish Dental Association about getting the scheme working well again will soon be under way, if they are not under way already. I will ask the Minister to give the Deputy a more detailed response because I am not as up to date on the matter as perhaps I should be.
