Written Answers. - Cancer Incidence.
Limerick East): National data on cancer incidence is not, at present, available to my Department. However, the National Cancer Registry Board has been established to collect such data, and collection on a national basis began in 1994. The board will be carrying out detailed analysis of this data on a county-by-county basis and the results for 1994 will be available to my Department in 1996.
