Last week, the Taoiseach formally launched the Office of the Minister for Older People. I call on the Leader to invite the Minister of State, Deputy Hoctor, to spell out to the House what she intends to do about the human rights of older people in society. For example, there is no free breast cancer screening for women of 64 years of age despite women being more susceptible to breast and other cancers between the ages of 65 and 75.
