Here is the statement released by London's University College Hospital tonight:

IT was just another day in the city of terror. North, south, east and west of its already battered heart, London's Tube network was gripped by panic as explosive devices were discovered in packed carriages.

ALTHOUGH long overdue, the announcement by Tánaiste and Health Minister Mary Harney that E25 million has been approved for two new BreastCheck units in the southern and western regions will be welcomed.

POP princess Samantha Mumba last night confirmed she will perform at the University Concert Hall in Limerick as part of a series of music concerts being filmed there for RTÉ.

British police were today questioning a man over the murder of two women whose body parts were found in bin bags in north London.

HOSPITAL waiting lists are falling only slightly, despite record funds ploughed into the health service over the last year.

HOSPITAL patients in the west are facing major disruption from next Monday, with nurses and ward clerks mounting industrial action in a row over pay and planned job losses.
