Cancer Treatment Services: Statements (Resumed).

 

I am also delighted to tell the House of the appointment of an oncology-trained lady pharmacist in Sligo, the first of her kind in my neck of the woods. Such oncology-trained pharmacists are rare, and they are under immense pressure, and over-worked. I am delighted too to report on the excellent nursing staff in the area, and on the numbers of nursing staff in the oncology unit who have an oncology diploma. No doubt this is partly because it is much cheaper for nurses and professionals like them to live outside the capital city of Dublin. Sligo and other areas in rural Ireland have certainly benefited from this.
