I thank the Acting Chair for her indulgence. I will finish on this. In essence, we are saying that we will have best international practice - anonymised programmatic audits - so that our screening services can get better. Every patient who receives a cancer diagnosis must be offered a review that has been created to work for the patient. The Bill states that the results of that review must be disclosed to the patient. My view is that this works for patients and puts Ireland as one of the few countries in the world that are putting the patient and the patient voice first and centre in terms of these requested reviews.
