It follows last year's announcement that Armidale was nominated as a site for the expanded oncology service. Cancer patients in the New England often travel to other larger centres to obtain their radiation therapy. This can be an exhausting and expensive process, adding to the stress of a cancer diagnosis on the individual, their family and carers. The Government's investment of $45.5 million in grants for new centres across Australia will reduce the need to travel outside the region and allow many patients to access all their cancer treatment services in one place. Having access to adequate health services is vital for people in the bush and treatments like this could quite literally save the lives of our loved ones. Rural and regional Australians in the New England provide much for this country; it's only fair we provide them with the proper health services they need and deserve. Funding for this initiative comes from the Australian Government's Health Infrastructure Program.
