BreastCheck and National Cancer Control Programme: HSE
BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion
Professor Arnold Hill:
For breast cancer patients, access to theatre is still adequate. We are getting our patients operated on on time and in an appropriate fashion. That is not a current issue but if our numbers expand we would need more access to theatre. That is in the context of planning for five to ten years’ time. When we note the number of cancers, we can see that by 2029 there will be a significant increase. We need to plan for that.
