Cancer error hospital offers HSE machine

BARRINGTONS Hospital’s in Limerick, which has ceased treating cancer patients, yesterday offered the use of a state-of-the-art mammogram machine to the HSE for free.

BreastCheck, the national breast cancer screening programme, has yet to be rolled out in the mid-west.

Women in the region have to travel to private medical facilities in Cork or Galway for check-up mammograms.
