Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.

 

I reiterate my case by saying that this is a matter of life and death. Lives are being saved thanks to the BreastCheck screening programme, where it is in operation. The women of Ireland cannot see what is preventing the extension of the programme. The Minister needs to make a decision now, particularly in view of the fact that it will take a minimum of 22 months to roll out the programme. He needs to find the money to extend the BreastCheck programme nationwide. Many lives will be saved as a result.
