Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion
Professor Riste?rd ? Laoide:
My apologies if I crossed the Deputy. The screening service is under the remit of the National Screening Service. Ms Fiona Murphy is not here. The point the Deputy is making is a good one. We had a 20% increase in urgent attendances in urgent breast cancers in 2022 compared with 2019. That has led to a 10% increase in the number of cancers diagnosed above 2019.
