PQ 80
80 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a cancer patient (details supplied) in County Cork who is awaiting specialised stem cell treatment following a course of chemotherapy and whose stem cells have been harvested has been informed that this treatment is not now available in Cork; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that this patient needs to commence this treatment within four to six weeks from now and that stem cell harvesting will again have to take place if they attend another medical institution outside of County Cork; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that this person’s youngest child died last year which together with this patient’s illness has caused devastation to this family; and the steps she will take to have this patient treated in a suitable centre without delay.
