Cancer rates lead councillors to urge Harney to open ward
Fianna Fáil Councillor Dan Fleming shocked a number of his colleagues when he outlined information he said he’d received which showed the full extent of the problem.
“One-in-three people in Co Cork suffer from cancer. It’s increasing so that in 10 years’ time 50% will suffer from cancer. There is no cancer ward at CUH, which serves a catchment population of 500,000,” Mr Fleming said.
