Cancer Treatment Services: Statements.

 

I wish the Minister of State well. This is a delicate area and I will give him any support I can to get to the bottom of this emotive issue. There are many problems in the health service, particularly in the area of cancer care. I compliment the Government on introducing a ban on smoking in public places. We need zero tolerance in this respect because tobacco has been a major health problem. We must do everything we can to ensure that young people, particularly young girls, do not find it as attractive to smoke as they once did and if we can do so this initiative will have succeeded.
