Cancer information hub to open at Cork’s Bon Secours

THE Irish Cancer Society (ICS) announced plans yesterday to open one of its family-friendly cancer information hubs in a Cork city hospital.

The Daffodil Centre — the first of its kind in Cork — will be based at the Bon Secours Hospital on College Road.

A full-time cancer nurse, funded by the ICS, will be hired over the coming weeks and a core group of up to 40 trained volunteers will be recruited to help staff the facility, which it is hoped will be open before the end of the year.
