Hungarian dental clinic raises concerns

WE note the opening of a Hungarian-operated clinic in Ballylanders, Co Limerick, as reported in the Irish Examiner (March 7).

While it is perfectly understandable in the middle of a recession that people would try to cut back on costs, the opening of this clinic raises a number of questions.

Firstly, it’s important to note that patients attending the clinic in Ballylanders are not getting Hungarian prices in Ireland. They are getting competitive Irish prices and similar prices are available from Irish dentists all over the country.
