The requirements of the Symptomatic Breast Disease clinic in Letterkenny University Hospital continue to be kept under review to ensure 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.
