LISTEN BACK: Crocus Monaghan welcomes abolition of inpatient charges

Crocus Cancer Support Monaghan has welcomed the news that the abolition of the public inpatient charge will take effect next month. The organisation is also calling on the Government to reinstate the Medical Card to cancer patients.

Martin Maguire from Crocus men's Den spoke to the Wider View this week and he says the announcement has come as a relief to those with a cancer diagnosis. He began by explaining why it is so important for those accessing treatment in public hospitals.
