I do not know when the last information campaign occurred. The Senator asked a question about a future campaign. I will respond to the Senator on this matter before the House goes into recess.

On the issue of cancer treatment services in Waterford raised by Senators Coffey and Burke, perhaps an interim report on the cancer strategy should be made available. I will take up that proposal with the Minister and Professor Keane and look for an interim report to check on progress being made. That is important given that Professor Keane is operating within a certain timeframe. He is on secondment here from British Columbia for a certain period. Rather than simply waiting until the end of that period it would be important to assess the level of support for and success of the programme to date. I will raise that with the Minister at the first opportunity.
