Focus on radiotherapy services in troubled report
The Government and Opposition parties are due to make statements on The Development of Radiation Oncology Services report, which recommends that future development of radiotherapy services be confined to centres of excellence in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
The Government-commissioned expert report gave rise to a public outcry in the south-east and mid-west when it was published last October because it ignored demands for locally -accessible treatment centres in Waterford and Limerick, where cancer surgery and chemotherapy treatments are available.
