Campaigners who want a new cancer centre for south east Wales to be co-located with a major existing hospital have raised fresh concerns about the funding.
The Welsh Government has agreed to fund a new Velindre Hospital in the Whitchurch suburb of Cardiff to replace the current centre, which has the same name.
But health and environmental groups argue that it would be preferable to build a new facility adjacent to Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales, pointing to research which suggests it is better to have cancer centres on a site that is integrated with a general hospital.
