Suspension of Mammogram Services at Mayo University Hospital
Mammogram services at Mayo University Hospital (MUH) have been temporarily suspended following the retirement of the hospital’s radiographer
In the interim, all appointments are being redirected to Galway University Hospital
Minister of State Alan Dillon TD has voiced deep concern, stating:
