Question from Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan - PQ 72259-25

To ask the Minister for Health the way in which the proposed orthodontic grant will interact with the existing 20% tax relief on orthodontic treatment; if her Department has estimated the total net out-of-pocket cost remaining for families after both supports; and whether measures are being considered for families who cannot claim tax relief due to low income or non-taxpayer status; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
