Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

In reply to the Deputy's first question, I have given the facts in regard to the resources that have been allocated and the policies of the Department of Health and Children. Far from cutting back on breast cancer services, we have approved 111 additional posts, recruitment for which is under way. On the capital side, two new clinical units, seven additional mobile units and state-of-the-art digital equipment have been provided.
