Professor Riste?rd ? Laoide:

I want to congratulate Professor Kerin because he is a wonderful advocate for the west of Ireland and making sure that they get access to best quality care there. I support him 100% in that. He identified an infrastructural deficit, which is possibly something that is general in the country for cancer services. We need to work on our infrastructure, and it is particularly acute in Galway. They presented plans and we are aware of them. We are working with the acute hospitals division, the HSE estates and the office of the chief clinical officer, CCO, to help progress these plans. There is no doubt that there is an infrastructural deficit.
