Vol. 523 No. 1
522 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will arrange for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo to be provided with urgent orthodontic treatment in another health board region as the Western Health Board will not treat her until January or July 2002; and the reason the Western Health Board has been unable to treat her to date.
