Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion
Dr. Clare Faul:
I was asked to go into my daughter's school to discuss some of the risk factors for cancer. The feedback is that having a diagrammatic way of getting the message across seemed to be one of the ways of doing that. We could have brochures and publications. Starting in the schools is probably the way to get the information out as early as possible. Students can influence their families as well. If a child tells a dad or mum that perhaps they should stop smoking, that is one way of making sure we try to get the message across to the entire family and population.
