The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that elderly, frail, and often disabled residents and those with dementia, residing in aged care facilities, are often unable to leave the facility for dental treatment.
Your petitioners therefore request the rollout of the super sized dental vans be sped up to provide basic dental treatment for residents living in aged care facilities.
