Hard questions were posed and Senator Feighan kicked off on the first and fundamental question in this area which concerns the shortage of radiotherapists. It is the most difficult question that I have to address. Since 1997, two additional consultant radiotherapists have been appointed but I accept that is not sufficient given the need to develop radiotherapy services generally. The Minister established the expert review group in order to provide an effective plan for future developments. I accept that our radiotherapy services are not adequate at present to meet current and future requirements for radiotherapy treatment. As soon as the Minister receives the report, which is very close to finalisation, proposals will be developed for consideration by Government.
