Seanad debates

Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.
The Minister has made great efforts to get centres of excellence going, with little help from some members of my own profession. This is not to mention local politicians, who are sometimes not satisfied unless there is to be a centre of excellence at every corner. I have great sympathy for the Minister in this respect. Nevertheless, there are areas where women are significantly disadvantaged due to the lack of such services as radiotherapy. I do not blame the Minister for this problem. This is why I believe the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, should be taking this debate.
