The Department of Health no longer operates a National Lottery Fund. However, the HSE operates a National Lottery funded scheme under which it provides grants to health agencies and other organisations. Details of the scheme are available on the HSE website at: .

My Department is currently working on finalising the National Cancer Strategy which will set the policy direction for cancer control for the next decade. The Strategy envisages the development and implementation of dedicated survivorship programmes. Such programmes will address both the physical and psychosocial aspects of survivorship, and will include the provision of practical support in areas such as prevention of future cancers and healthy lifestyles.
