I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the health and wellbeing of our citizens presented by the appalling statistic that the five-year survival rate for Irish cancer patients is 45%, which is 10% less than in the best performing EU countries, according to figures for 1999 to 2004, which is an indictment of the mismanagement of the health services by the Government.
