Major new cancer hospital opens in Liverpool

A major new hospital that will transform cancer care in a region that is one of the worst affected nationally by the disease has opened in the heart of Liverpool.

"They need more resources, both the nurses and the doctors are absolutely rammed, they need additional staff, although the pressures are never passed on to you by the staff. They’re very busy, but we’re never rushed. They’re all brilliant. I feel lucky to have the service here."
