Mr. Steve Dempsey:

We are in the dark too. We do not know if there is any additional funding. At this stage, it has not been made clear to us that there will be any dedicated additional funding. We have heard back from the Department with a bit more detail about the new process. What the Department is saying, which we have to accept is said in good faith, is that it wants to combat regional inequalities by giving authority and subsidiarity directly to the REOs, who will then be able to allocate the funds accordingly. That all sounds absolutely fine in theory but, in practice, what does it mean for a centralised approach to cancer? We do not know. That is our major concern.
