Question
How much additional cost has been incurred by the decision not to co-locate the new Velindre Cancer Centre and the resultant need to provide an acute oncology service at University Hospital Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
The University Hospital of Wales already provides acute oncology services. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is developing a business case for the development of a new facility that we expect to include a number of cancer related services and would operate as part of the networked clinical model that includes the new Velindre Cancer Centre. We have not yet received this business case for consideration.
