Fantastic news from Queensland Government!
Blight promises city oncology unit by 2010
While Parliament was held in Cairns at the end of October, the COUCH executive consisting of Charles and Pip Woodward, Bob McGill and Max and Liz Plummer met with the Premier Anna Bligh and the Health Minister Stephen Robertson to discuss the redevelopment of the Cairns Hospital.
Firstly, COUCH has pushed for the relocation of the present chemotherapy facilities to be expedited so that the extra 5 chemotherapy chairs which were committed by the Rudd Government could be installed. Hopefully this will be brought forward by two months to mid June. We also discussed the location of radiotherapy in the new redevelopment and methods of this being fast tracked. We have also been to meetings with Queensland Health about the best possible location and integration of all Cancer Care facilities.
Yours sincerely
Charles Woodward
Chairman
