Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion
Ms Gemma Fort:
On behalf of the Alliance of Community Cancer Support Centres, I thank the committee for having us. We really appreciate the time today. I wish to mention the many volunteers involved in our centres who have survived cancer. As one of them put it, she is involved as a volunteer to celebrate her survival. There is a huge amount of contribution in the community from people who have used the services and who see the value in them. I wish to bring their voice to that today. They are doing everything they can to ensure those services are there for people like them. It is all about them. I thank the committee for giving us the time and listening to us today. We very much appreciate it.
