Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cancer Screening and Care Services: Discussion
Ms Rachel Morrogh:
We want to ensure it is not just health-literate people who are returning to healthcare. It must happen across society and we must pay particular attention to this, with campaigns as necessary to ensure that people from lower income areas are accessing healthcare in a timely way. Once people seek medical advice in a GP setting, there should be pathways for patients to get free diagnostic tests within those key performance indicator timeframes set out in the cancer strategy.
