Cancer services will not return to pre-Covid-19 levels until year's end

The Irish Cancer Society expressed concern about the timeframe for a return to pre-Covid services.

Cancer services will not return to pre-Covid levels until December at the earliest, under the HSE’s plan for non-Covid care.

Plans laid out in A Safe Return to Health Services aim for 90% capacity from June for BreastCheck, CervicalCheck, BowelScreen and diabetic retina screening, rising to 100% from October.
