The shape of cancer services at one of the country’s leading centres, the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, will be decided over the next 12 months through a special Mount Vernon Cancer Centre Services Development Process led by the PCTs that commission its services.
The first stage of the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre development process will begin on the 4 September 2008 and will ask almost 200 key stakeholders, patients and user groups to agree a short list of options on the future location of cancer services affecting 2 million people, across 1,500 square miles.
The options being considered at this first stage include:-
Option A:
Relocate the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre from its present location to a District General Hospital site.
Option B:
Retain the Cancer Centre at Mount Vernon and restrict future development to the Mount Vernon hospital site.
Option C:
Retain the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre at its present location and build any new capacity at one or more satellite locations.
