787.To ask the Minister for Health if he is aware that essential radiology scans for cancer care patients on maintenance treatments, which must happen at three-month intervals for optimum outcomes, have been delayed by up to seven months, as is the case with a person (details supplied); and that this delay means that consultants cannot ascertain the best course of action, which can be the difference between life or death for the patients; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
