I am conscious that the HRB is a State body and that Dr. Morrissey is dancing between the lines, but it is obvious that there is a degree of frustration. From a budgetary point of view, the HRB is being asked to make decisions about the competing proposals being put to it. From a CTI or overall cancer perspective, though, it is also obvious that there is not enough funding and that the HRB, while trying its best, could do much more with a little more funding. Would it be fair to say that the HRB could make additional funding stretch?
