Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 May 2020
516. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Health the estimated full year cost of providing ten additional chemotherapy slots per day in University Hospital Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7123/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraSaolta Hospital Group advise that a number of improvements were made in University Hospital Galway in 2019 to streamline processes, thereby facilitating an increase in the number of chemotherapy slots per day from 16 to 22.
I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the feasibility and estimated cost of providing further additional chemotherapy slots at the hospital.
