Question from Deputy Pearse Doherty - PQ 72081-25

To ask the Minister for Health the assessment or consultation that was done to approve the permanent removal of dental services in Killybegs, County Donegal; the reason for removing the service; the reason another dentist could not be found in Killybegs to continue the service; if her Department will consider reversing this decision in the future given the distance people will now need to travel to Donegal town; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
