Radiotherapy for south-east in pipeline

Tánaiste and Health Minister, Mary Harney, has given the initial go-ahead for a private wing to be added to the hospital as part of a series of public private partnership (PPP) deals.

And consultants at the hospital say they are already planning a new wing which would include the long-awaited cancer service. Hospital medical board chairman and consultant pathologist, Dr Rob Landers, said they have spent the past three years working on a PPP deal and added he expects the Minister to confirm shortly that radiotherapy will be delivered for Waterford as part of such a deal.
