Paudge Connolly (Cavan-Monaghan, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that despite the Irish Cancer Society and the local cancer steering committee jointly funding in 2004 a full-time oncology liaison nurse post for Cavan General Hospital, the HSE Dublin North East has failed since 2004 to provide a position number for the advertising and filling of the post, thereby denying this vital resource to cancer sufferers in Cavan and Monaghan; and call on the HSE to approve the advertising and filling of this critically needed post forthwith.
