Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy for raising the point. The short answer is "Yes". We are expanding cancer screening services right across the board, including breast cancer. The Deputy will be aware that I have allocated money specifically in the budget for next year to expand it.
The other initiative that is happening, which will be useful, is that we have just launched a new national genetics and genomics strategy so all of the screening and genetics work will work together in line with significant ongoing funding for the national cancer strategy. I will take back the specific point the Deputy raised to the Department and the HSE.
