The National Cancer Control Programme has advised that there will be dedicated facilities for the clinic serving Mayo breast patients in University College Hospital Galway. This will be achieved by making available new clinic space which has become available for the management of breast cases. Two beds are required to support this service with the majority of surgery being day or overnight stay cases.
