Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur mar gheall ar aonad oinceolaíochta san ospidéal i dTrá Lí. The continued failure to provide and deliver a stand-alone oncology and haematology unit at University Hospital Kerry is totally unacceptable. Patients and families in County Kerry deserve the highest standards of care. The minimum they should get is oncology services that are at least the equivalent of those in other counties, with chemotherapy, immunotherapy and compacting. I was informed in response to a parliamentary question that €10 million was committed in 2022 to be ready in 2026. However, it appears the project is in limbo until a response is received from HSE Estates. A stand-alone unit is essential. Is the Government going to deliver fairness and equality for cancer patients in Kerry?
