Cancer treatment for children in Ireland is led and directed by Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin, Dublin, which is the national tertiary paediatric and adolescent referral centre for all cancer services and which operates a shared care model with hospitals around the country. Every child who develops cancer has their diagnosis established and treatment planned at the Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin.
I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy regarding funding allocation and terms of reference for the treatment of children.
If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
