Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

Deputy Stanton is very concerned about the current waiting lists. The Irish Cancer Society reports waiting lists of up to two years for testing. There is then potentially a further two years waiting for the risk-reducing procedure that the test may have signalled. Is the Minister monitoring waiting times? Will the new initiative involve a multi-annual plan for staffing and investment so that this programme is not competing with other urgent care that might squeeze it out?
