Dr Robert O’ Connor, the charity’s Director of Research, said the Society has been impacted during the pandemic by a lack of funding paired with increased demand for their services.
He told
Newstalk Breakfast: We ve seen major impacts across stress, anxiety, the psychological aspect of cancer and that s led to a significant impact on our free counselling which is available through our support line. We have also seen very significant demands and increases on our Night Nursing, our terminal care and support. Last year we provided 7,000 nights of free care to people going through a very difficult situation in their home.
