Ned O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I had two questions but they have been anticipated almost exactly by Deputy Jan O'Sullivan and Senator Ruane. I have a general question which is not really part of Mr. Thompson's remit but he stated in reply to a previous question that women from less privileged backgrounds present later than the majority of women. Is there a programme in place in the UK to encourage earlier presentation? Is there anything in that regard that we could learn from in this country? Clearly, if women are presenting later they are possibly depriving themselves of choices which it might be too late to avail of.
