Mr. Steve Dempsey:

There is stuff in there that is really well intended and stuff in there that just probably does not necessarily belong in the overarching strategy. I am not sure how any strategy that just relates to cancer could bring about a big socioeconomic change like bringing smoking rates down to 5%. There are some elements - the more clinical elements, I think - where the focus could really be delivered but other things that are slightly vaguer and more amorphous as to how you would go about achieving them are well beyond the ability, I think, of an organisation like the HSE even, not just the NCCP, to deliver.
