Cancer Treatment Services: Statements (Resumed).
I have no hesitation in saying that what Dr. Paul Donnellan is delivering in Sligo for the North-Western Health Board would be on a par with what is delivered in London, Paris or New York. Five hundred new patients have been seen by the medical oncologist in just over a year since he was appointed. Before that, every two weeks an oncologist from St. Luke's Hospital travelled to Sligo and saw people on an out-patient basis. That situation was never acceptable and I am glad it does not have to be relied on now.
