Dr. Peter McKenna:

It is probably more than just a plan. The person who has kept me most aware of this is Professor Donal Brennan in the Mater, who has obtained funding from the Irish Cancer Society with a view to improving survivorship. The team is not medically based. It is multidisciplinary, including dietetics, physiotherapy, psychological counselling and that sort of thing. He will be looking for co-funding from the HSE in order that this pilot project can be rolled out long-term and for other units as well. It has gone beyond a plan. I would not be aware of this only for the tenacity of Professor Brennan in keeping me informed and looking for funding.
