I thank Ms Ní Sheaghdha. On radiation therapists, it was said that there are four closed cancer treatment machines and three CT scanners are currently closed. This committee had a prolonged discussion with the HSE some weeks ago about the need to max out all of the expensive equipment and that it makes no sense to leave it idle. What is happening to those patients who are not receiving cancer treatment in the public service?
