Deputy Staunton is very concerned about the current waiting lists. The Irish Cancer Society reports waiting lists of up to two years for testing. There is then potentially a further two years waiting for the risk-reducing procedure that the test may have signalled. Is the Minister monitoring waiting times? Will the new initiative involve a multi-annual plan for staffing and investment so that this programme is not competing with other urgent care that might squeeze it out?
