Frank O’Rourke TD spoke in the Dáil this week on the timeline for the opening of the Dental Clinic at the refurbished Health Centre in Celbridge.
Frank said, “The Dental Clinic was promised 12 months ago, and in reply to a sequence of PQs I raised with the Minister for Health, we are now being told it is to be pushed out for another 4 years. This is entirely unacceptable, especially as the closest alternative service is almost 30km away in Naas. I have called on the Minister to meet with me,important issue, and in the interim, to offer a viable solution which will provide access for families, to a dental service.”

Frank O’Rourke TD spoke in the Dáil earlier this week on the Fianna Fáil motion on hospital overcrowding and how it affects elderly people.
“Our hospitals are at crisis point. Naas Hospital had 851 people, aged 75 or over, waiting on trolleys or chairs in the Emergency Department, since the start of the year. Delayed discharges are another problem. Proper step down facilities and Home Care supports could resolve this and I call on the Minister to provide extra resources, for both the Housing Adaptation Grant and the Home Care Package, to allow elderly people be cared for safely, and to live independently, in their own homes.”
