============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

It is a critical issue for everyone concerned in the region. I will ask the Minister for Health to refer back to the Deputy directly because I do not have the specific details here. I would make one point, however. It is important we learn from the mistakes of the past but also from the successes of the past. I am long enough in the Dáil to remember the controversy about centralising or having centres of excellence. That cancer care strategy has worked. As I understand it, all outcomes have shown a remarkable improvement for Irish cancer patients, although obviously not in every case. It is sometimes important to learn the lessons from that. I will ask the Minister to come back to the Deputy specifically on that particular site. It is important that we recall success as well as mistakes.
