No Member of the Oireachtas from Waterford or the south-east could contribute to a debate on health without referring to the problem of cancer care and the provision of radiotherapy services in our region, and specifically Waterford city, which is the accepted central location for it. In my time in politics, I have never seen such a concentrated, sustained or committed campaign as for the provision of this service in Waterford. I am convinced that no matter how long the debate goes on, or how long people must wait for this vital service to be provided in our area, we will see people on the streets and in the media looking for it, and I will be supporting them. This is long past the stage where it is a political debate, if indeed it ever was. I regret that the indicators coming from the Minister are all negative in respect of the provision of this vital service in Waterford and while I accept that no decision has yet been made, or at least been made public, I do not like the signals.
