Mr. Conor O'Leary:

I have some statistics from National Cancer Registry Ireland. One of the big concerns from the registry's 2021 annual report was that a large proportion of late-stage cancers, 14%, were detected when people went to the accident and emergency department and that, during the Covid pandemic, the number of cases of cancer being diagnosed fell by 6%. As a result of these late-stage diagnoses, people are coming to us with more complex presentations. A different set of services is needed for somebody whose cancer is at stage 4. It is an even bigger challenge for us to have appropriately qualified personnel to meet those needs.
