Dr. Clare Faul:

I can add to what Professor Ó Laoide said. Some of the larger and more difficult cancers in the community include lung cancer and even cervical cancer, but in the last five years that has significantly improved. For example, we were below target in lung cancer. It is a difficult population because we are talking about people from disadvantaged communities. Rapid access into services has opened up in the last five years and we expect access to respiratory diagnostics, including bronchoscopy etc., to increase. In most of the acute hospitals there is a new pathway for rapid access diagnosis, so that will improve. However, we will not see that improvement for another few years, because obviously people need to go through the system and get the results post treatment.
