The third petition is No. 63 of 2022 entitled Ireland needs a National Lung Cancer Screening Programme from Ms Fiona Doolan. This petition proposes that Ireland should initiate a cost-benefit analysis regarding early screening for lung cancer with a view to implementation of a lung cancer screening programme. The petitions case manager corresponded with Professor Niall O’Higgins, chair of the national screening advisory committee, NSAC, on 24 March 2023 and received a reply from Professor O'Higgins on 17 April 2023. The committee recommends that the correspondence from Professor Niall O’Higgins be forwarded to the petitioner for comment within 14 days, and that Ms Doolan be advised that should she wish to be added to the NSAC stakeholder list that she should contact it directly at the email address provided in the correspondence from the NSAC. Is that agreed?
