World Cancer Day: Charity wants urgent action to tackle 'major problem' of waiting lists

Irish Cancer Society Director of Advocacy, Rachel Morrogh, said there is a lot of pressure on cancer services following the surge in demand as a result of the pandemic.

The Irish Cancer Society has marked World Cancer Day with a call for urgent action to tackle waiting lists and ensure that cancer survival rates do not suffer as a result of delays.

The Irish Cancer Society has urged the government to take immediate action on waiting lists so that timely care is accessible to all who need it.
