Cancer Treatment Services: Statements.

 

I wish to advise the House of a number of developments in radiotherapy. In recent years significant investment in new radiotherapy services has taken place in Dublin, Cork and Galway. Some €25 million has been invested in the renovation and upgrading of St. Luke's Hospital, ensuring it continues to meet the demands placed upon it as a world class centre for the delivery of radiotherapy. Almost €9 million has been invested in phase one of a substantial new building project development at Cork University Hospital for radiation oncology services, which was completed in 2002. A new radiotherapy department is under construction at University College Hospital, Galway. This development is part of the phase two project at the hospital. In excess of €100 million has been allocated to this project which is due for completion this autumn.
