Ceist:208 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Health and Children his views on whether a person (details supplied) in County Kildare, who was diagnosed as having ovarian cancer and had an operation on 7 January 1998 in the Rotunda Hospital, requires the precise continuation of a cycle of chemotherapy, whereby treatment is for five day periods with a two week interval: his further views on whether a break in this cycle is not acceptable; if he will confirm that the patient will in future be kept to a strict cycle of treatment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
