Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
1529. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Health the regional breakdown of women not offered hospital admission for treatment within three weeks of diagnosis of breast cancer according to the Public Service Performance Report 2017, in tabular form. [33291/18]
View answerThe Public Service Performance Report for 2017 indicates that 92.9% of those diagnosed with breast cancer through BreastCheck (286 women) were offered hospital admission for treatment within three weeks of diagnosis. This exceeds the target rate of 90%.
The regional breakdown of the women who were not offered treatment within the target timescale is a service delivery matter, and I have asked the HSE to provide this information directly to the Deputy.
