One of the areas requiring urgent development is that of supportive care for cancer patients with improved co-ordination between health services. Great work is being done by the voluntary sector. I pay tribute to the hospice and the various agencies and voluntary organisations which put so much time, funding and expertise into helping cancer patients. In my area Mayo-Roscommon Hospice and North West Hospice have always been to the forefront. I know that their views are taken on board. This is a time to acknowledge the work they do.
