I thank the Minister of State for a very comprehensive answer. The awareness campaigns are important to get people to come forward as soon as they think they have a problem so that it can be dealt with as soon as possible because there is no national screening process for most cancers, and Professor Keane said that lung cancer is the big one coming down the tracks.

Will the Minister of State ask the Department of Health and Children to answer my specific questions about how these eight centres will affect Letterkenny? I think they include Letterkenny but I would like confirmation of that and if possible to have estimated times for when these services will be put in place.
