The provision of additional radiation oncology facilities in Ireland in Dublin is essential to ensure that cancer treatment is available and accessible for cancer patients. Hospitals in the Dublin region have been invited to submit their proposals for the location of new radiation oncology services. The deadline for these submissions is next Friday, 8 October. I will receive advice from the chief medical officer of my Department about these submissions, and from others with expertise in the area, and I expect to be in a position to make a decision in the coming months on this important matter.
