Cancer clinic should be open to all

A private radiotherapy clinic has called on the HSE to arrange access for public patients, writes South-East Correspondent Neans McSweeney.

RADIOTHERAPY could be provided in Waterford as early as mid-August of this year, according to the group behind the service.

But whether public as well as private patients will receive the desperately-needed service at the UPMC Whitfield Cancer Centre remains an issue for the Health Services Executive (HSE), according to UMPC Cancer Centres International managing director Michael Costelloe.
