The confirmation of a new oncology unit at UHK is a huge day for cancer services in Kerry.
That’s according to Fianna Fáil councillor Mikey Sheehy, who raised the motion at the recent HSE South West Forum.
The HSE says that the project remains within the National Capital Programme, while a development control plan to determine how best to integrate the facility is ongoing.
