The Irish Medical Organisation will be making a submission to the Department of Health as part of the Department’s public consultation on the development of a National Cancer Strategy for 2016-2025. This public consultation poses questions on the strengths and weaknesses of existing cancer prevention, treatment, and research provisions, as well as priorities for a future strategy. You will find the Department’s consultation questionnaire here.

I would appreciate if you, as a member of the IMO, would read this questionnaire, and if you have any comments or proposed responses to the questions that you feel should be considered as part of the organisation’s submission, please forward them to me at codowd@imo.ie by 5.00pm on Monday, 20 July.

If you have any queries in relation to this consultation process, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to your comments and feedback.
