I presume the report referred to by the Deputy is the submission made by the Irish Society of Medical Oncologists to the National Cancer Forum. It was discussed by the forum at its meeting in May 2003. The National Cancer Forum is the national advisory body on cancer services. It is a multidisciplinary group of experts and includes representatives of all modalities of cancer care. The report on the development of radiation oncology services in Ireland, known as the Hollywood report, was discussed and unanimously endorsed by the forum at its meeting on 17 September 2004 as the framework for the future development of radiation oncology services.
