Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion

Mr. Conor O'Leary:

A better model might focus on the existing centres, which have been in place for many years. My own centre, Purple House, has been in place for 35 years. They have grown and developed over those long years so, rather than new centres cropping up, a better model might be for the existing centres to be supported to reach out to those areas not currently served.
