Isle of Wight NHS CCG makes cancer patients' lives immeasurably harder
After a year of trying to secure funding from IW NHS CCG, Wessex Cancer Trust say they are no longer able to provide the minibus service that gets Isle of Wight cancer patients to and from treatment in Portsmouth. Treatment they have to travel to the Mainland for, because IW NHS doesn't provide it.

Isle of Wight cancer patients who need treatment in Portsmouth were dealt another blow this week, when it was revealed that the Isle of Wight CCG will no longer fund the minibus service to the hospital.
The Daisy Bus service, that takes Isle of Wight cancer patients from the Hovertravel terminal in Southsea to the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth for treatment, will be axed from next week due to the cut in funding.
