Warning that medical card holders are facing increased delays for dental treatment as dentists are resigning from Dental Treatment Services Scheme for Medical Card Holders

Government has not followed through on PPE promises made six weeks ago. Inexplicable delay means dentists left to review viability of their practices and medical card scheme participation. ‘This is devastating for dental practices and for patients around the country’.

‘Programme for Government does nothing to alleviate our concerns’. IDA will advise members to individually consider courses of action that are open to them. ‘Despite repeated representations to the Minister for Health on the scale of the challenge now facing dentists in Ireland, sadly the response has been gravely disappointing'.
