‘Never been as much investment’ in cancer services, says Donnelly, as specialists call for more

Taoiseach Simon Harris has been urged to reverse a decision to 'provide no new recurrent funding' to the National Cancer Control Programme in 2024.However, defending the Government’s record, he said there had “never been as much investment” in cancer services. He told reporters on Tuesday that it had to be ensured oncologists and cancer specialists had access to diagnostics, operating theatres and outpatient clinics at weekends.

I just had to get Covid to have it Mr Donnelly said there had never been as much investment in cancer services and “we don’t unfortunately see those letters get written”. “I can understand frustration from surgeons when they are seeing surgeries pushed because of pressures from people coming in through the emergency department, unscheduled care,” he said.

Separately, Mr Donnelly said it had to be ensured the State was “getting value for money” from public nursing homes and an audit into them was being conducted to see if there were cases whereby “staffing ratios could be looked at”.
