Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion

Professor M. John Kennedy:

I think so. It is well known in the NCCP that it needs to target those populations that are at increased risk. I believe it is doing that.

Again, that is the kind of thing that would benefit from multi-year funding planning, rather than doing stop-start work. It is a complex area and requires real innovation. It would benefit from a planned distribution of funds to make sure it happens over a number of years because it will not be done in one year.
