A new report suggests breast cancer patients are not receiving their chemotherapy treatments in the recommended time frame.
The Journal Investigates found all 9 hospitals offering the treatment consistently missed the 8 week target set by the HSE.
Letterkenny University Hospital had the worst figures in the country, with the target reached in just 13% of cases between January and March.
The hospital has told the Journal Investigates that since March, improvements have brought that figure up to 40%, the same statement it gave Highland Radio earlier this year when the issue was raised at Regional Health Forum level.
