Seanad debates

Thursday, 4 November 2010

Senator Cannon referred to cancer patients in Galway. What he said was alarming, to say the least. I will contact the Minister's office after the Order of Business because we were given assurances in regard to these centres of excellence. Regardless of the recession and the downturn, these centres of excellence must not be affected. Word should be sent to the HSE that this House will accept nothing but 100% support. A poor person with cancer sending her husband to see if there was a bed available so she could get chemotherapy is unacceptable and disgraceful. I will see what I can do. If we need to debate this in the House next week, I will leave time aside to do so.
