I received a strategy for cancer control in Ireland 2006 from the chairman of the national cancer forum last month. The strategy makes recommendations in respect of the criteria for decisions on the introduction of population-based screening, including colorectal screening. I am examining the strategy with a view to bringing the proposals to Government. I expect to have the strategy published in March.
