More details from petition creator

Cancer patients want the best treatment possible and (providing they are well enough and rich enough) they will travel anywhere to get it. But cancer patients in Cornwall have total confidence in our expert surgeons and nurses and we have excellent chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments. Why fix it when it's not broke?

A Cancer Centre should be provided in Cornwall, not only Devon. Government & N I C E Guidance will allow this. It is difficult enough dealing with cancer without the stress of travelling 100’s of miles away to receive treatment.

Our County Councillors must trust the people of Cornwall. This is our NHS, we want a say in how it looks after us. We want a full public consultation. This is the thin end of the wedge.
