In recent weeks, the committee has undertaken a body of work on the national cancer strategy. I expect that oral cancer can bee seen or spotted first, or certainly the suspicion of its existence can be identified, by a dentist. Is screening for oral cancer and examinations by dentists, be it by self-referral or whatever else, a missing piece of the jigsaw? If that lack of screening for oral cancer the missing piece? Beyond a dental check-up, is there specific oral cancer screening that we are missing in Ireland and that we should be doing?
