I propose to take Questions Nos. 671 and 672 together.

The National Cancer Registry is the statutory body with responsibility for, inter alia,the collection and analysis of information relating to the incidence of cancer and related tumours in Ireland. My Department has asked the Registry to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the question raised on incidence rates.

The Deputy will find the mortality rates for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2011 and 2015 as follows. The figures for 2016 have not yet been released.

Age specific morality rates (per 100,000 females population) where cause of death is C56 Malignant Neoplasm of ovary. Figures sourced from the CSO.

Note: Data for years 2014 and 2015 are based on year of registration. These figures should be considered provisional and are subject to revision.
