Leaders' Questions (24 May 2012)

Thomas Pringle: I was not asking about primary care - these treatments cannot take place in a GP's surgery. These are vital treatments on which patients depend and they are being refused simply because they do not live in Dublin. It is being done as a cost-saving measure within the HSE and the hospitals.
