“Anyone who has had to wait for a CT scan to confirm a cancer diagnosis will know that a wait of weeks can seem like years and that this time 'in limbo' can be more difficult to cope with than anything else.
Salisbury District Hospital is really good at prioritising patients and meeting NHS cancer wait times but having a second scanner will allow us to reduce CT scan wait times and therefore give people back weeks of their life that might otherwise be lost in worrying.”
Dr Tamara Everington, Haematology Consultant
“A second CT scanner would make certain the 24/7 availability of CT scanning, so that you or your relatives can be sure that we can deliver excellent care, should you ever need us.”
