To expand on that point, I have been contacted by several people who have rare forms of cancer. They have found the lockdown period very difficult. However, as we emerge from lockdown there is so much uncertainty about how they can safely operate in society and the period for which this will continue is indeterminate. In many ways this is having a more severe impact on their mental health. Does Mr. Buggy believe the Irish Cancer Society is currently able to meet that demand, or are additional programmes or funding needed to cater to mental health needs?
