Louth Labour TD, Ged Nash has slammed the government and the HSE for what he said is a growing crisis in providing orthodontist services for children in Louth.
Deputy Nash said: “It is clear to me that there is a crisis in Drogheda and Dundalk and across the county, in terms of the provision of orthodontic services for
children.
“After a number of complaints to my office from constituents on the issue, I submitted a Parliamentary Question to the Minister for Health.
“While I am waiting on a more comprehensive reply from the HSE, the Minister for Health has told me that there is no consultant orthodontist or specialist orthodontist working in Louth, currently.”
Deputy Nash joined us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about this.
