Ms Rachel Morrogh:

One of our frustrations is that we have been highlighting the inequity in healthcare, specifically in the area of cancer and cancer outcomes, for as long as I can remember. Members of the committee have highlighted it as well. When we consider the health inequalities highlighted in this report, the authors are saying that there has been no change in the gap between the most well off and the least well off in the past decade. The most startling finding for the Irish Cancer Society is that despite everything we know about health inequalities, there has been no progress. That is highly disheartening and worrying.
