15/11/2005 - 08:58:26The Tánaiste and Minister for Health, Mary Harney, is due to discuss a proposal to allow Irish cancer patients receive cancer treatment in Belfast during a meeting with her Northern counterpart today.
Ms Harney wants cancer sufferers from the north-west to receive treatment across the border rather than having to travel all the way to Dublin.
A cross-border suicide-prevention initiative is also due to be discussed during her meeting today with British minister Shaun Woodward.
