Question:
To ask the Minister of Health whether she is considering the development of a comprehensive cancer strategy; and if so, for a timetable for initiating this process.

Answer:

Meeting the challenge posed by cancer is, and will continue to be, one of my highest priorities. We have made great strides in tackling cancer and have seen significant progress in the decade since the opening of the Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital. I can assure you that I will give due consideration to the need for a comprehensive cancer strategy.
