All-Island Cancer Research Co-operation
That this Assembly notes the recent report from the All-Island Cancer Research Institute on the state of the oncology research industry; recognises the need for greater cooperation in cancer research on the island of Ireland; further recognises that clinical experts in this field have stated that developing “Oncology Innovation Clusters” by pooling resources, could help to drive research and investment in oncology, domestically and internationally; calls on the Department of Health to engage meaningfully with the Department of Health in Dublin to consider opportunities for increasing North-South cooperation in delivering innovative research into cancer prevention, treatments and interventions on the island; and further calls on the Minister of Health to subsequently update the Committee for Health on that engagement.
