Saolta Hospital Group advise that a number of improvements were made in University Hospital Galway in 2019 to streamline processes, thereby facilitating an increase in the number of chemotherapy slots per day from 16 to 22.

I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the feasibility and estimated cost of providing further additional chemotherapy slots at the hospital.
