The Government's policy on radiation oncology is based on the report, The Development of Radiation Oncology Services in Ireland. The report recommends that the first priority should be the development of a clinical network of four large centres that collectively have the staff and treatment infrastructure to permit a rapid increase in patient access to appropriate modern radiation therapy and form the backbone of the anticipated additional future service expansion.
