Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 6323/22-27, what chemotherapy treatments are available on a cross-border basis at Altnagelvin Hospital.

Answer:

The Western Trust (North West Cancer Centre) has a Service Level Agreement in place with HSE for the provision of radiotherapy to ROI patients and the provision of concurrent radiotherapy/chemotherapy for a small number of patients (as clinically indicated).

Therefore, no stand-alone chemotherapy treatment is provided at NWCC for ROI patients.
