Cancer drug trial decision ‘bizarre’
Labour party spokeswoman on health, Deputy Liz McManus, said she could not accept the position taken by the Mater and St Vincent’s Hospitals as these hospitals were funded by the State and not by religious organisations.
She accused them of “denying women access to anti-cancer treatments on the basis of denominational restrictions” and said the hospitals’ ethics committees were “placing a veto on women’s health”.
