I am from Galway. The incidence of certain cancers is higher in the west than for the rest of the country, on average. Professor Michael Kerin and others have plans for a new cancer centre, with over 220 beds, on the grounds of University Hospital Galway as part of the national development plan.

I am sure the HSE is aware - I can see our guest nodding - of those plans, supports them and believes it is absolutely vital for the west that there is equality of service. We have fine and experienced consultants, but I refer to the standard of care and the outcomes that will prevail from that.
