Current Issues Relating to Health Services for Cancer: Discussion
2:00 am
Martin Daly (Roscommon-Galway, Fianna Fail)
We do not have a PET scanner in the western region. I know there is access to a private scanner but that is not the answer to our population’s needs.
The other question on the west, for Mr. Canavan, is whether there are any plans to develop further outreach oncology day services such as into Roscommon University Hospital. We have a facility there in the west that is under-utilised. It might be something that could be done to bring cancer care out. Everyone cannot funnel to Galway.
