Cancer Services Reports: Motion (12 Mar 2008)

Jan O'Sullivan: I would like to move the Labour Party amendment to the Government motion.

Cancer Services Reports: Motion (12 Mar 2008)

Jan O'Sullivan: I will speak to the amendment and the Minister. Sadly, since publication of the three reports last week, nothing I have heard today or from the Government gives me great confidence that anything will change greatly or that the Minister is not presiding over a health system in which similar incidents to those that happened in Portlaoise could be happening or may happen in the future. I state...

Cancer Services Reports: Motion (12 Mar 2008)

Jan O'Sullivan: My reference was not to that article but to comments she made on the news. I had a pen in my hand and recorded her comments in writing.

Cancer Services Reports: Motion (12 Mar 2008)

Jan O'Sullivan: I am not referring to her article.

Cancer Services Reports: Motion (12 Mar 2008)

Jan O'Sullivan: I am trying to address the Chair but the Minister is not listening to me. She is listening to other people in the House. When Portlaoise was designated as a centre for cancer, an expert with mammography experience and interest, triple assessment and multiple disciplinary teams were supposed to be in place. None of these was put in place and nobody has taken responsibility for this debacle....
