Beverley Flynn (Mayo, Independent)

I have two questions for her. In her speech she referred to the survival rates for women with breast cancer. Does she have a breakdown of the figures, hospital by hospital? Is the statistical information available and, if so, will she make it available to us?

My second question relates to the forthcoming appointment of Professor Keane. The Minister mentioned that he will be responsible for the budget but will there be any flexibility in his role? Will he implement the national cancer strategy as currently outlined or, after the HIQA review, will there be flexibility built into his role, whereby he can change the strategy if the review indicates that it is advisable to do so?
