The Cuisle Centre for cancer support in Portlaoise
The Cuisle Cancer Support Centre is set to benefit from a funding boost from Budget 2025, Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly has confirmed.
Budget 2025 contains new investment in cancer services nationally of €41 million, including a €5.5 million allocation to the Alliance of Community Cancer Support and Service nationally.
Cuisle Cancer Support Centre in Portlaoise is a member of the Alliance and will receive funding during 2025.
Minister Donnelly said: "I'm pleased to allocate €5.5 million in Budget 2025 for the NCCP Alliance of Community Cancer Support Centres and Services. Centres like Cuisle Cancer Support in Laois provide vital services for cancer patients in communities throughout Ireland, both adults and children. They do tremendous work to ensure that national survivorship programmes are available all across Ireland. This government places great value on the dedication of the staff and volunteers who make these centres possible.
“I was pleased as Minister for Health to allocate once-off state funding to our community support service for the first time in 2024. This year’s allocation of €5.5 million represents an increase in this funding in 2025 and it will become permanent, annual funding.”
