Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Current Issues Relating to Health Services for Cancer: Discussion
2:00 am
Michael Cahill (Kerry, Fianna Fail)
About two years ago, I was contacted by a constituent in regard to concerns she had. She stated that within a two-mile radius of her house, eight different people were diagnosed with cancer. Three of them were terminal and have sadly passed since. The question the laypeople are asking all the time is whether it is the water they drink, the air they breathe or the food they eat. Do the witnesses have any comments on that?
I repeat a question I asked earlier. What initiatives or programmes has the HSE not been able to expand or roll out due to a lack of funding for the cancer strategy?
