Professor Risteárd Ó Laoide:

The surgical centralisation programme did not make a lot of progress, to be quite frank, in the past number of years because there was very limited funding for it in the cancer strategy. We have got funding this year and are hoping to make progress on centralisation. We are going to start with rectal cancer surgery and are also hoping to look at gynaecological oncology as well as the sarcoma, hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.
