Will the Leader invite the Minister for Health and Children to attend the House for a debate on radiotherapy services? In the past, support has come from all sides of the House for a radiotherapy unit in Limerick to cater for the mid-west region in general. I understand the Minister met a deputation last week and it has been reported widely in the press that it received a positive response. At a time when there is surplus funding for health board staff, it is only right and proper for the Minister to clarify the situation in this House.
