Screening delays ‘putting lives at risk’

WOMEN’S lives in Waterford have been put at risk because long-awaited cancer screening services are not being delivered on time, a Labour councillor claims.

Screening Labour’s Seamus Ryan says it’s time for the BreastCheck service to be delivered there.

“Women’s lives are being put at risk because of unfulfilled promises and hold-ups in the planning and development of the services and facilities required for the roll-out of BreastCheck to Waterford,” Mr Ryan said.
