There is a proposal for a new Velindre Cancer Care centre o be built just north of Whitchurch hospital. It's in pre planning at the moment but there are some planning documents here
http://www.transformingcancerservices.w ... g-reports/The plans also include a Maggies Centre. The proposal is that the existing Velindre will be decommisioned in 2022 and presumably the land sold for housing.
It's difficult to envisage what it will look like as at this stage as the drawings are indicative only. However the principle is one I wholeheartedly support. Centres of excellence like this form a virtuous circle. Having a number of highly skilled and motivated practiotioners and reserachers in state of the art surroundings attracts others who want to be at the heart of cutting edge science. Cardiff already has a good reputation in cancer care and this development will enhance that reputation further and hopefully lead to improvements in cancer care and outcomes.
