‘50% of county will suffer cancer in 10 years’

CORK’S Government representatives admitted yesterday that the city’s cancer services are inadequate, but vowed to pursue funding to improve the situation.

Their admissions came after a Fianna Fáil county councillor presented shocking cancer figures to a meeting of the local authority on Monday.

Cllr Dan Fleming said information he had from “reliable sources” showed that one-in-three people in Co Cork suffer from cancer.
