The current strategy runs from 2017 to 2026. There have been seven budgets in this period. Ms Power said that in two of those cancer was adequately funded, but in five of them it was not. Obviously, that has consequences. If the funding is not there, one cannot improve the services and the outcomes will not come. Regarding budget 2024, how much additional funding was provided for the national cancer strategy?
