HC Deb 26 October 1995 vol 264 c781W
21. Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on cancer services in Northern Ireland. [26923]

Mr. Moss

My Department has established a cancer working group, under the chairmanship of the chief medical officer, to review the current provision of cancer services in Northern Ireland and to make recommendations by 31 March 1996 as to how the services can be improved. Any major decision on the pattern of cancer services, including new investments, will be taken in the light of the work of that group and my Department's response to it.
