The Belfast Trust has branded its own urological cancer waiting times as 'unacceptable'. They say "that their capacity to deliver urological cancer surgery falls below the level of demand for the service that's actually required. They say the waiting times are unacceptable and are an ongoing and significant challenge for the Trust." That's come to light after a county Antrim woman contacted the Nolan Show. She's been waiting for three months for a date for an operation, after being diagnosed with cancer. Our reporter Nicola Weir has been speaking to the woman - who wants to remain anonymous - and asked her about the delays she's been facing.
