Very few people in this country are not touched by the ravages of cancer. It...

Paul Donnelly: This Government needs to end the recruitment embargo and implement a workforce plan for the health service. People shake their heads in disbelief at the recruitment embargo. The Government needs to train more radiation therapists and hire the staff needed to utilise all radiotherapy equipment.

Sorca Clarke: There is nobody in this country who has not been affected by cancer in some shape or form. It is a devastating disease, not only for those who are fighting it but for their loved ones too. Around 42,000 people a year will get a cancer diagnosis. Each and every one of them deserves the best possible chance of not only surviving the disease but of enjoying a good quality of life afterwards....

Bríd Smith: My very last point is on the retired workers themselves. I have introduced a Bill to amend the Industrial Relations Act to give retired workers the right to be represented where their pensions have been interfered with. It is shocking to think that they can say nothing, as happened during the austerity years to all our public sector workers, particularly those in the semi-States. In goes...
