SDLP West Tyrone MLA Joe Byrne has welcomed the announcement
by the Environment Minister Alex Attwood confirming planning approval for the
new radiotherapy unit at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry.
Mr Byrne
said: “I welcome the Minister’s announcement which now
means the dates and budgetary timelines for the building of the new
Radiotherapy Unit can proceed according to plan.
“This new
unit will not only serve patients in the greater North West on both sides of
the border but also guarantee the coping capacity and performance standards of
the Regional Cancer Centre at Belfast’s City Hospital into the future.
“I will be
pressing for regular progress reports on the new unit so that there is no
slippage on this project which is a regional priority, not just for people in
the North West but right across the North.”
