I propose to take Questions Nos. 142 and 143 together.

The specific questions raised by the Deputy in relation to progress under the HSE National Cancer Control Programme relate to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the HSE under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in this regard.
