Vol. 366 No. 6

Written Answers - National Cancer Register.

51.

asked the Minister for Health if he proposes to set up a national cancer register in order to establish a baseline on the incidence of cancer and to monitor the effects of the recent national disaster in the Ukraine.

The question of establishing a national cancer register is currently being considered by my Department. While such a register would yield national data on the incidence of cancer, it would not necessarily be adequate to monitor the effects of very specific risk factors.
