Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

There is a broader issue in respect of the ongoing negotiations between the Department of Health and the Irish Dental Association regarding the provision of dentists. A total of €10 million has been made available through the Estimates for allocation to dental services. Obviously, that would include, in particular, the provision of dental services for people with autism, which requires a specific response. There have been difficulties in terms of the discussion so far. The HSE and the Department are anxious to provide that allocation and have an interim resolution of this ongoing dispute, which is not to the advantage of people who want to access the service.
