There’s still time to have your say on the proposed future location of specialist cancer services for children

News - 6 December 2023

There are two weeks left to have your say about the future location of very specialist cancer treatment services for children living in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, Kent, Medway, South London, and most of Surrey.

NHS England (London and South East regions) is urging parents, patients, professionals and the public: "Don’t delay - have your say," ahead of the planned closure of its consultation at midnight on Monday 18 December 2023.

These services are currently provided in partnership between The Royal Marsden in Sutton and St George’s Hospital in Tooting. The consultation will help NHS England decide where they should be in the future. 

This animation explains why things need to change:
