Beaumont Hospital is one of the eight cancer centres designated by the Health Service Executive last week. The decisions of the HSE in relation to four managed cancer control networks and eight cancer centres will be implemented on a managed and phased basis. The HSE plans to have completed 80-90% of the transition of services to the cancer centres by the end of 2009. In relation to the provision of radiation oncology services, the contract for the design consultants for the new facilities at Beaumont Hospital has commenced. The evaluation process for procurement of the supply contract is also under way and a technical subgroup is preparing the equipping specification for the phase 1 developments.
