420. Portuguese children: State issued checks without dental coverage


Father, my check bounced
* * *
In September, Jose Carlos received a voucher to the dentist for her daughter to be seen for free at a private clinic. The date was June, but only reached him three months later. Still, he called the office and made an appointment. He managed to wave in November.
Weeks later, he received a letter home to pay for the consultation, because the check-dentist was out of time. The complaint went to the Minister of Health, through the deputy of PCP Bernardino Soares, but the check issued by the State bald father to this port is not unique.
The coordinator of the National Oral Health, Rui Calado, admits he has received several complaints. But as the computer system does not allow coupons register after the deadline, states that there is no way to know how many checks were delivered to schools after the date, or how many parents have missed the limit by accident. If it is proved that the delays were in our services or schools, to find a solution, he asserts.

The simplest formula to humiliate the parents of children who require dental checks of the National Oral Health aimed at children and young people.
