Bantry General Hospital was not selected as one of the candidate colonoscopy screening units under the National Cancer Screening Service's National Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme, which will commence in 2012. Bantry General, however, similar to the other 21 hospitals not selected for that Programme, will continue to provide colonoscopies for patients.
