Dentists challenge HSE over cuts to treatment under medical card
Dentists Martin Reid and James Turner claim the changes outlined in a circular issued last April – which they argue radically confine the services they can offer to medical cardholders to emergency services and one oral examination in a 12-month period – will have “a dramatic effect on public health”.
They also claim the HSE has breached an agreement with dentists to provide dental services for medical cardholders. The HSE has denied the claims.
