Cancer group in ‘positive’ talks with Harney
Ms Harney told the group she favours a more regional approach to cancer treatment, despite the recommendations made in the National Cancer Strategy that major specialist facilities be developed in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
Waterford’s Cancer Care Alliance and leading medics from other regions in the country met with Ms Harney for the first time yesterday, telling her that the Government blueprint for cancer services for the country seriously discriminates against sufferers across the south east.
