Teresa Costello (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State for her response. I have concerns. There is a specific issue with the symptomatic breast disease clinics. It is about when a girl, generally of 36 years or under, presents after being referred by her GP with a lump and is sent away without a scan that day. I think something has changed over the years. Years ago when I was diagnosed, I never met anybody who was sent away without a scan on the day. The question I have asked several times is whether something changed. Did something change around the time the early diagnosis of symptomatic cancer plan was put together? I will follow up with the Minister for an answer on that issue.
