Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
901. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Health if he will introduce a prostate cancer screening programme similar to the BreastCheck programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33417/14]
View answerThe HSE's National Screening Service does not recommend prostate cancer screening for asymptomatic men. Also, international evidence does not support the introduction of a population based screening programme for prostate cancer. I do not propose to introduce such a programme at this time.
