Harney pledge on radiotherapy for Waterford
She says it is her aim that the Waterford facility would be up and running far ahead of the target deadline of 2011.
In the past week, the Tánaiste has met with the Health Services Executive with a view to progressing with radiotherapy facilities, she said. “It will be a public private partnership and the private sector will built the facility and provide the machinery. The State will then employ the clinicians and the experts which will be required to make that facility successful. We hope that the work on the public private partnerships can advance rapidly. I want to see it rolled out as quickly as possible.”
