- Cancer Services: Statements (Resumed). (7 Nov 2007)
James Reilly: Obviously, the big question is funding. Has the amount been assessed or quantified? Is it ring-fenced for cancer care? Surely the Minister for Finance can find funds for a digital scanner in his own constituency. A digital scanner costs â¬400,000. An analogue scanner costs â¬250,000. As I have heard what the Ceann Comhairle said, I will not make statements. However, I will say the...

James Reilly: Will there be double reading of scans?
- Cancer Services: Statements (Resumed). (7 Nov 2007)
James Reilly: I simply reiterate the question I asked, namely, has the Minister abandoned the public private partnership process? Is that why we are now in a position to deliver the services in 2009 as opposed to 2015, as suggested by Professor Brendan Drumm? It is a specific question to which I would like a yes or no answer. Second, will we have double reading of mammograms to protect patients from...

James Reilly: In her speech, the Minister for Health and Children stated: "One person applied for the post, the doctor who had been a locum beforehand, was offered the position, and took it up on 1 November 2005." Is this the same locum about whose expertise the surgeon had concerns? The Minister might answer this later. I accept totally the Minister's statement that the same pictures taken by the...

James Reilly: Perhaps it was not a theatre but that does not take from the fact that there was major investment in two theatres that cannot be used because the doors do not operate. It is like an episode from "Keystone Cops". The Minister then told us that cutbacks were being made but that they would not affect patient care. However, they clearly have affected it. Patients' procedures right across the...

James Reilly: Bunkum. If one has a breast lump, one needs a mammogram, a clinical examination and a biopsy unless one has a past history and they can see clearly that it is not cancer. One cannot determine that with a mammogram alone. It needs clinical examination. That is the triple assessment. It does not involve three people reading a mammogram. It involves the pathologist looking at the...

James Reilly: If we are interested in excellence, can the Minister tell me how many breast cancer surgeries have taken place in the Beacon Consultants Clinic, the Blackrock Clinic, the Hermitage Clinic or the Galway Clinic? Is she concerned about the low numbers of surgeries being carried out there when she talks about the public service? It seems that this is an example of spin or smoke and mirrors to...
