Please do not more radiotherapy away from Dorchester and make people travel to get treatment.

My experience of radiotherapy service in Dorset - as someone who has supported family member, is that the service is of quality. What is extremely challenging is the physical access to the radiotherapy suites. With minimal parking for those undergoing daily treatment; in some caes long walking distances, nowhere to sit to have a rest,and the ever present worry that your car park ticket may run out before you are seen, I suggest the whole process of accessing and using services needs a radical rethink. Once you get to the suite, the support and care is excellent. Machines however break down with regularity and why are some staff having to be drafted from other areas of the country *( in one case- Birmingham), shouldn't there be a more robust system to access trained staff? I'm sure this is not just Dorset. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
