MP WELCOMES REVIEW OF GYNAE CANCER SERVICES
December 1, 2009 5:00 PM
Julia Goldsworthy MP has welcomed an independent review into gynaecological cancer services, which recommends that a specialist centre be created at the Royal Cornwall Hospital.
Ms Goldsworthy said the review reflected the views of campaigners in West Cornwall, who have been calling for more specialist health services to be set up in the county - not moved to Plymouth or Exeter.
Julia said: "Local people will be pleased to learn that the Royal Cornwall Hospital is being put forward to become one of two specialist centres for gynae cancers in the South West. Having local access to high quality health care is crucial for patients in Cornwall.
"With services like upper GI proposed for transfer out of county, today's announcement is welcome news that the direction of traffic is not entirely one way, as so many people had feared."
