The Minister for Health and Children mentioned that there are 13 centres of excellence and pointed out that the BreastCheck system is in operation. He suggested that there may be duplication and said that arrangements to remedy it would have to be arrived at. The Minister's job is to resolve these matters. We all know that there is a great deal of politics in the medical profession and that doctors are not averse to protecting their own patches. Patients – women in this instance – should be a priority, however. It has been proven that lives can be saved if there is early detection of breast cancer and that BreastCheck has a high success rate in this regard. Money should be found for these services, as lives are it risk if it is not provided. The statistics are there for everyone to see and they show that my argument is valid. Surely the money that is needed to save the lives of women can be found. It is of paramount importance that the Government should appreciate this.
