The matters raised by the Deputy in relation to breast cancer services at Letterkenny General Hospital relate to the provision of healthcare services and accordingly I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on these matters.

In relation to Donegal Action for Cancer Care (DACC), my office will be in touch with DACC in due course to make the necessary arrangements for a date for a meeting.
