Martin to review Limerick cancer unit plan

MINISTER for Health and Children Micheál Martin has ordered a re-examination of the proposal for a private cancer-treatment facility in Limerick.

Last night, a spokesperson for the minister said he was seeking clarification of a number of points in the plan submitted by a private charity, the Mid-Western Hospitals Development Trust.

Last evening, Mr Martin and representatives of the charity met face-to-face to discuss the plan for which there has been growing support in the mid-western region.
