Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion
Ms Averil Power:
The frustrating thing that we have seen from helping individuals is that many people will qualify in the end but only after they have gone through a massive maze and avalanche of paperwork. People with cancer do not have the energy or the time to be going through that. That is why we would recommend that it should be automatic from the start. It is one less thing for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer to have to worry about.
