Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.
10:30 am
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
My contribution will be brief. Much of what I wish to say has already been said by my colleagues in the Labour Party. I reiterate that the Minister failed to deliver on the Government's commitment in the Fianna Fáil manifesto to extend BreastCheck nationwide by 2002. That is disappointing. I welcomed the announcement in recent weeks that the programme would be extended to counties Carlow, Kilkenny and Wexford. The Government has made a promise, yet another was broken.
