Member for Mount Gambier Troy Bell has congratulated the Radiation Treatment Working Party and wider community on the impressive number of signatures garnered in the fight for expanded cancer treatment services in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an amazing effort by our community and the wider community,\u201d Mr Bell said. \u201cI am looking forward to it being tabled.\u201d The Member for Mount Gambier also had some good news surrounding the cost for the feasibility study.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn a positive note, I\u2019ve been in discussions with the Health Minister and the $80,000 for the study will be picked up by the State Government and not come out of the Limestone Coast Local Health Network.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Bell welcomed the chance for the radiation treatment services case to be investigated in the halls of power and hoped it would lead to a positive outcome.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are still questions around radiation therapy in Mount Gambier and I am really hopeful this legislative review as well as the business case feasibility study will put them to rest and we can proceed with a united front to seek funding from the State Government.\u201d<\/p>\n
