Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The radiotherapy report has been published and the Minister has stated his position. I hope that in the coming years, improvements made in the last decade will continue because there is a much better service. The more resources that can be invested, the more it will improve in time to come. This year an additional €15 million or so has gone into improving the service on top of the base that has been created in recent years.

On the Hanly report issue, the Deputy asked me if the nurse service after a particular hour had been changed. I said "yes" and that there would be medical cover.
