Some Cancer Patients On The Road To Wollongong Again

Wednesday, 15 August 2012 05:13

Patients attending the private oncology clinic at Shoalhaven Hospital have been told they will have to travel to Wollongong for check-ups because the one day a week service is closing down due to staffing issues.

Professor Philip Clingan attends the review clinic once a week but has informed patients by letter that he no longer has secretarial support to keep it going and patients will have to visit him in Wollongong for check-ups.

The Illawarra Shoalhaven Health Service has stressed the chemotherapy clinic where patients receive treatment will NOT be affected and will continue to operate five days a week at Shoalhaven Hospital.

However the Welfare Officer for the Culburra Bowling and Recreation Club, Margaret Burke says the closure of the review clinic will greatly inconvenience her clients.

The closure of the review clinic comes as construction continues on the $35 million South Coast Cancer Care Centre at Shoalhaven Hospital.

It is due to open next year.
