I wish to raise the important issue of cancer screening in light of the recent remarks by the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, that chemotherapy and radiotherapy services were down by 30% and 20%, respectively, when those services should be increasing 5% per annum because of our age demographics and rising population. Will the Taoiseach commit to a strategy of public awareness campaigns to ensure that as many people as possible are encouraged to return to their cancer screening services and GPs in cases of suspected illness?
