Breast screening service promises same-day X-ray results

A LEADING private hospital in Cork has opened a new €3.5 million breast screening clinic, which promises an appointment within 48 hours and same-day X-ray results.

The Bon Secours Hospital on College Road has transformed its former maternity wing into a new specialist breast centre to provide patients with rapid access to a multi-disciplinary, triple assessment clinic which it says will provide best quality care for women with symptomatic breast problems.

The centre was unveiled to hundreds of city GPs at a event held in the hospital last week.
