Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion

Ms Averil Power:

It was beset by many of the issues that are now on the data protection side. The national ethics committee has done excellent work and presented recently to Cancer Trials Ireland on how it changed all of that and put in place a proper streamlining and national framework. Perhaps the committee could look at the data protection side because I think that is where, as Professor Kennedy said, there are massive issues with individual hospitals, in the absence of a national framework, having to figure it all out themselves and make individual decisions.
