Finally, representatives of the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association are upstairs. They will meet most of our members as this day goes on. Currently, lung cancer screening is not part of the national strategy, but their concerns extend beyond that because of pulmonary fibrosis and long Covid. If there is lung cancer, people assume there is smoking or some hereditary issues there, but there are a lot more lung and pulmonary fibrosis issues that are also going through that backlog of CT screening. It is one of the easier cancers to detect, as I understand it - I have no medical knowledge, but we are briefed on these issues - yet, coming out of Covid, a great many people are presenting with abnormalities in their lungs. Will Dr. Henry offer some commentary on that?
