According to the Caiman-Hine report produced in 1995, a population of 280,000 to 300,000 justifies a two machine radiotherapy centre. The population in the mid-west justifies the provision of a radiotherapy facility. I implore the Minister, Deputy Martin, to give a commitment to provide such a facility for the Mid-Western Health Board region. I will continue my crusade for this facility until he and the Department of Health and Children provide this essential service for the area I represent.
