Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2007)

Sheila Terry: ...lives in the country. We have known this for some time and it has often been discussed in this Chamber. One of the best ways to treat cancer is to detect it in the early stages.

Sheila Terry: ...the gardasil drug available to every woman in the country. I also strongly support the comments of the cancer specialist who yesterday described the decision not to make the new vaccine against cervical cancer available to women on the medical card scheme as "ethically dubious and nonsensical on financial grounds".

Traditionally women's voices have been stronger in the this regard and we call on a regular basis for improved health services such as breast or cervical cancer screening, etc. We talk about these issues regularly.
