Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Current Issues Relating to Health Services for Cancer: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Damien McCallion:
I will ask Professor Ó Laoide to go through the priority areas in a moment. Effectively, there will be new money. We need to be careful not to get into the spin of all the news. There is an additional €1.5 billion going into the health system next year. A proportion of that will be for cancer services, and to support further development through the process I mentioned in terms of the national cancer control programme working with the health regions. We need to look at some of the issues around access to diagnostics. Those are never been addressed through the additional funding that comes under the cancer strategy. They are addressed through a system-wide response.
