The requirements of the Symptomatic Breast Disease clinic in Letterkenny University Hospital continue to be assessed with a view to ensuring that arrangements are in place to meet the present and future needs of the service.

I advise that a second breast surgeon post on a locum basis is currently assigned to Letterkenny University Hospital.
