South-east cancer patients cite political betrayal

Cancer campaigners claim a private radiotherapy clinic in Waterford will not meet the area’s needs, reports Neans McSweeney.

CANCER campaigners have vowed to stage an angry protest when Transport Minister Martin Cullen lays the foundation stone for a private radiotherapy clinic in Waterford on Friday.

The campaigners are furious about of Minister Cullen’s assertion that there is no difference between private and public radiotherapy treatment and plan to vent their anger when he turns up at the site of the private Whitfield Clinic on the Cork Road in Waterford this Friday for the sod-turning ceremony.
