As I have previously informed the Deputy, the National Cancer Screening Service Board (Establishment) Order, 2006 was signed by me on 14 December 2006 and came into effect on 1 January 2007. The Order provides that the quorum for a meeting of the Board is five members. I signed an Appointment Order in respect of five members of the Board on 20 December 2006 with effect from 1 January 2007. Letters of appointment issued to those members on 20 December 2007. The remaining seven members of the Board were appointed on and with effect from 31 January 2007.
