The Health Service Executive has in place several options for the transportation of patients who require radiotherapy and other oncology services including the use of designated oncology transport vehicles and transport by air. These services and their development relate to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Executive under the Health Act 2004. I understand that the Executive will be reviewing the transport needs of all patients, including cancer patients and the associated resource requirements. Accordingly my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to provide relevant details to the Deputy.
