Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion

Professor Riste?rd ? Laoide:

The NCCP is working on a schools programme to try to get information out to schools. As Professor Hill has said, there is no doubt that we can improve on that. The more information we get out there, the better. We do it through media campaigns, the schools and through GPs. It is key to educate the patients about the signs and symptoms and risk factors. We also have similar education modules for healthcare professionals on early symptoms and early diagnosis. There is a lot done already but more needs to be done, as the Deputy has said.
