Text
Minister, you mentioned the general dental services cost-of-service review that your Department published last month. You have accepted that there is a significant gap between the hourly rate paid to dentists and the cost of providing dental services. What actions are you taking to ensure that the gap can be closed, even if that is done over time rather than in just one leap?
