Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.
Following the meeting, we received an invitation from Limerick Regional Hospital to look at the cancer centre there, which is a symptomatic cancer treatment unit. We travelled to examine the unit which is impressive. Given its current staffing levels, it is very good. However, as has been pointed out quite rightly, women can only get access to that clinic if they are showing symptoms of breast cancer. In other words, it is no longer possible to obtain a routine mammogram in the north Tipperary area.
