I requested the HSE to initiate a tendering process for the procurement of a HPV vaccine with a view to commencing a HPV vaccination programme for all girls in first year in secondary school and this process has now been completed. The programme will be delivered, commencing this year, from the extra resources committed in this year's budget to the overall Cancer Programme.
