I met with a delegation from the Cancer Care Alliance last week which included representatives from the western, north-western and south-eastern areas. I listened carefully to the delegates' views concerning the development and improvement of oncology services at regional level and, in particular, radiation oncology services, breast cancer screening and capital funding for oncology facilities. I expressed my view on the importance of developing regional services consistent with best patient outcomes in line with international standards and agreed to revert to them at a later stage.
