A ā¬2m temporary unit offering cancer care in Tralee is āwholly inadequateā for the number of patients being seen there, patient group Comfort for Chemo Kerry has warned.
Set up at University Hospital Kerry (UHK) in 2023, the unit is overcrowded, the group said as they called for government funding to urgently address this.
