Rún beartais · Leasú

Vóta ar leasú atá anseo. Baineann Tá agus Níl leis an leasú, seachas leis an mBille nó leis an rún iomlán. Seiceáil an focail a chur leis, a bhaint nó a ionadú atá beartaithe.

Cuireann rún beartais seasamh an Tí in iúl nó iarrann sé gníomh. Ní athraíonn sé an dlí ann féin ná ní chuireann sé iallach dlíthiúil ar an Rialtas an beartas a chur i bhfeidhm.

Ní thugtar an fhoclaíocht bheacht sa taifead roinnte seo. Seiceáil an díospóireacht oifigiúil.

Ciallaíonn Tá 'tá' agus Níl 'níl' don cheist bheacht a cuireadh. Ní shoiléiríonn an vóta amháin seasamh iomlán ná cúiseanna TD.

An téacs iomlán ar vótáil na Teachtaí air

Chinn an vóta seo leasú Uimh. 1. Scriosann sé foclaíocht an rúin agus cuireann sé a théacs féin ina háit. Thacaigh Tá leis an téacs bunaidh a athsholáthar; chuir Níl ina choinne. Ní vóta ar an rún bunaidh ann féin ceachtar acu.

Is féidir le rún roinnt tograí a chur le chéile. Baineann Tá nó Níl leis an gceist iomlán a cuireadh, mar sin d'fhéadfadh TD aontú le cuid amháin agus vótáil ina choinne fós mar gheall ar chuid eile. Léigh an fhoclaíocht iomlán, agus an díospóireacht inar thug na Teachtaí a gcúiseanna, sula nglactar leis an vóta seo mar sheasamh ar phointe ar bith amháin.

An rún mar a tairgeadh éArna thairiscint ag Deputy David Cullinane ar Tuesday, 24 March 2026

That Dáil Éireann:
notes that:
— the National Cancer Strategy 2017-2026 is due to end this year, and a new strategy is needed to drive improvements in access to, and the quality of, care from 2027;
— in 2025, 15 per cent of chemotherapy, and 23 per cent of radiotherapy, patients did not get access to treatment in the target timeframe;
— in 2025, 45 per cent of breast cancer surgeries and 39 per cent of lung cancer surgeries, and in 2024, 61 per cent of prostate cancer surgeries, did not happen within the target timeframe;
— a postcode lottery exists in access to care, with access within target timeframes ranging from as low as 60 per cent in some areas, to upwards of 95 per cent in other communities;
— this State has below European Union average levels of diagnostic and imaging equipment, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computerized Tomography, and Positron Emission Tomography scanners, which is leading to significant delays in access to care, particularly surgeries, and this is caused by a combination of a low density of equipment, out-dated equipment, and poor utilisation of existing equipment;
— there has been a highly concerning shortfall in the number of women screened for breast cancer, with BreastCheck only screening 75 per cent of the anticipated number of women in 2025, which already assumes a 30 per cent fall off from the number of women invited for screening; and
— the most recent implementation review found that only 1 of 23 National Cancer Strategy objectives had been met;
considers that:
— cancer services need a clear roadmap and guaranteed funding levels for the next decade to deliver key enablers, detailed planning, and turn gold standard targets from aspirations into real deliverables;
— the mission of the new cancer strategy must be to improve standards, timely access to care, patient outcomes, quality of life, efficiencies, and innovation;
— a new strategy must include a strong emphasis on prevention, early detection, and proactive treatment of primary drivers, as well as of cancers themselves;
— a new strategy must address access to care, workforce challenges, equipment and infrastructure deficits, research, innovation, all-island planning, and the post-code lottery which currently exists for services;
— a new strategy presents a significant opportunity to drive all-island collaboration in improving cancer care and outcomes, and all-island planning, training, and delivery should feature prominently in a new strategy; and
— clearly identified, protected, and guaranteed new developments funding should be provided to underpin a new strategy, through a multi-annual funding framework averaging €30 million a year, each year, in additional new developments funding;
condemns the failure of Government to provide and clearly identify ring-fenced new developments funding for the National Cancer Strategy in 5 of the 10 Budgets over the lifespan of the current strategy;
resolves that a new cancer strategy should:
— guarantee timely access to cancer diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and follow up care;
— end postcode and income-based inequality;
— provide multi-annual funding certainty;
— expand capacity in line with projected demand;
— strictly manage expenditure to ensure cost-effectiveness without losing sight of the critical social and economic benefits of health investment;
— strengthen all-island cancer cooperation;
— reduce the financial and social burden of cancer; and
— position Ireland as a leader in research and innovation; and
calls on the Government to:
— commit to a new cancer strategy, to cover the period 2027 to 2037;
— guarantee €30 million in additional new developments funding each year, to underpin delivery of the new strategy;
— end the postcode lottery in access to cancer care, through targeted investment;
— implement a specific campaign to increase uptake of BreastCheck, catch up on women who did not attend screening invitations, and provide the option for information on breast density through BreastCheck;
— implement a managed programme for replacing outdated equipment;
— mandate Health Service Executive Regions to implement site specific equipment utilisation plans, including roster reform agreed with workers, to maximise use of existing equipment;
— extend service hours in the evening and over weekends, following constructive engagement with workers, for diagnostic imaging, laboratories, and treatment options, and ensure a commensurate increase in staffing levels, to maximise utilisation of equipment and capacity;
— fund additional training places in areas of strategic need in the health workforce, and work with graduates to ensure employment in the Irish health service;
— abolish hospital car parking charges for patients and visitors;
— immediately increase medical card thresholds in line with GP visit card thresholds, and increase funding for discretionary medical cards, to widen compassionate access;
— increase the health capital budget to €2.5 billion per annum for the remainder of the National Development Plan, to ensure sufficient funding for all of the Government's infrastructure commitments in Health;
— adopt a systematic approach towards clinical trials and life sciences innovation, aiming to make Ireland a world leader in clinical trials and the development of new medicines and therapies; and
— place Sláintecare wait time targets into law.

To delete all words after "Dáil Éireann" and substitute the following:
"notes that:
— while a large proportion of cancers are preventable, our growing and ageing population is a key driving factor behind the increase in cancers;
— today, over 220,000 people in Ireland are living with or after cancer, a 50 per cent increase compared to a decade ago;
— the National Cancer Registry predicts that 1 in 2 people will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime;
— fortunately, survival rates for patients after receiving a cancer diagnosis have continued to improve, with 65 per cent of patients living five years after a cancer diagnosis in 2014-2018, compared to 44 per cent in 1994-1998;
— Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development data shows that cancer mortality rates in Ireland are falling faster than the European Union average, and faster than our economic peers;
— these improvements were achieved under reforms delivered by three consecutive National Cancer Strategies, dating back to 1996, and these Strategies provided a clear, evidence-based, approach to cancer control, taking a whole-of-population perspective;
— the current strategy was launched in July 2017, setting out an ambitious set of actions to be completed within 10 years, and an evaluation of the strategy will be conducted this year, and the outcome of this will inform the development of the next strategy;
— the new strategy will provide an important opportunity to plan for the introduction of new therapies and treatments across the cancer continuum from prevention, screening, treatment, survivorship and palliative care;
— the current strategy contains 52 recommendations, with 43 of these having been implemented, and the National Cancer Control Programme is continuing to progress implementation of the remaining nine;
— the National Cancer Control Programme plays a key role in the planning and oversight of cancer services, setting national standards, monitoring regional performance and driving service reform;
— cancer services are delivered by a large and dedicated workforce, who strive to provide the best possible care for their patients;
