National Cancer Strategy(2017-2026) has only been adequately funded in two of the last seven budgets. 

As a result, the Irish Cancer Society is calling for: 
  • An additional €20 million in 2025 in new recurrent funding for the National Cancer Strategy.
  • An assessment of the funding needs of cancer services, above this €20 million minimum additional annual funding level, to ensure full implementation of the National Cancer Strategy by 2026.
  • End the recruitment embargo by allocating the necessary funding to fill crucial healthcare sector posts based on up-to-date workforce plans.
