Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion

Ms Emma Harte:

We heard that the number of training places will increase. I can supply the exact figure to the committee afterwards along with the year that will bear a result.

To return to a point that was made about radiation therapists earlier, there is a 30% shortfall with respect to the number of people required. Based on conversations we have had, we know that a lot of people have left the profession and others are considering leaving. It is great we are looking to the long term and aware of what needs to happen.
