Sligo now has chemotherapy services available for all types of cancers, and travel to Dublin is necessary only for radiotherapy. In the not too distant future it is to be hoped that patients from the north-western area may have to travel only as far as Galway for that treatment. I am glad the days are gone when people had to make that terrible journey from Sligo and stay overnight, being very ill and away from the loving comfort of their own families and homes. We never want to return to such stories, because we had them regularly in the media, and I am glad we have moved on and are now capable of delivering such excellent treatment in our own areas by multi-disciplinary teams, the best of professionals.
