Alan Kelly (LAB), Tipperary

The Taoiseach is in a unique position today. Last week, I told him the question I would ask him today. I subsequently wrote to him, outlining it in detail. I do not know how often that has been done before. I again outlined the issue to him when we spoke approximately 15 minutes ago. I also raised the matter with the Minister. I am seeking a comparative analysis year-on-year, January to September, in respect of diagnoses of cancer and coronary issues and treatments of both illnesses. I am not raising this issue for any political gain or reason. That is why I flagged the issue beforehand with the Taoiseach. I can see he is taking the figures down now from his telephone. Fair play to him.
