I wish to refer to the work of the national cancer forum, a multidisciplinary group of experts appointed to advise on cancer services, including hospital services. The forum has advised the Minister that the current organisation of these services is not in line with international best practice. This is a very important message, one that every Member of the Oireachtas should transmit, although I have no doubt that many will refuse to do so. The forum will be reflecting further on this issue as it prepares the next cancer strategy, which the Minister expects to receive later this year.
