Cancer Treatment Services: Statements.
The report of the subgroup of the National Cancer Forum on the development of services for symptomatic breast disease, known, of course, as the O'Higgins report, was published in March 2000 and contains recommendations for the establishment of a network of specialist breast units throughout the country. I am a member of the Midland Health Board, which I have the honour of chairing. It must be brought home to people that one cannot have a centre of excellence for cancer services in every county. That is the reality, and we must grow up about it.
