It is an area I am interested in. I want to see screening for many more cancers rolled out and I know there are trials and plans to see whether it works in certain socioeconomic areas. I would like to see those rolled out because for certain cancers, particularly lung cancer, the evidence in the UK shows that it could catch that cancer much earlier. It is very much a silent cancer. Obviously, I have a very personal interest in that one. I want Ireland to start screening for other cancers. It is great the witnesses have highlighted that people can come at a later date and acknowledge their trauma because it is a gruelling experience and it does not have to be their experience of cancer at that exact moment. I thank the witnesses.
