Professor Riste?rd ? Laoide:

On the issue of inequalities, the paper produced by the National Cancer Registry Ireland, NCRI, is a great piece of work and very important for us. I have not read it in detail yet because it was just published today.

Social equality affects not only cancer but all healthcare. It is a worldwide problem. Issues around education, employment and income are all important factors. It is a significant piece of work and we will be looking at it in the NCCP and helping to try to mitigate that problem in this country.
