Open letter from clinicians warns target waiting times not being met and surgeries ‘frequently delayed’ due to staff and bed shortages

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.
