I received correspondence from the Group referred to by the Deputy on 22 November last. The correspondence related to the National Quality Assurance Standards for Symptomatic Breast Disease Services which I approved last June under the Health Act 2007. I am very grateful for the significant support provided by Europa Donna Ireland in terms of the implementation of the Standards and the designation by the Health Service Executive of eight specialist centres for symptomatic breast disease. My Department has issued a response to Europa Donna Ireland in this regard.
