Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

There are now chemotherapy lists for nursing-led chemotherapy services. We never had waiting lists for chemotherapy before. For example, a service which is very important for patients going through chemotherapy, that is, the scalp cooling service, is not being provided in certain locations because there are no clinical nurse specialists employed due to the cap on recruitment.

With regard to paediatric services and palliative care, it is so wrong that there should be a wait.

Mr. Dunne will give a flavour in general terms of what it means to work short in community services in Dublin.
