Can our cancer network agree with InHealth that our patients are only offered locally convenient sites?
A. Each of the SHA leads in conjunction with referring sites, have specified which three scanning sites they would prefer patients to attend, to ensure that patients are offered sites as locally as possible. A contract variation has been completed by the DH to complete this process. To view the designated sites for your area, please search for your postcode on our Scanning Locations page. It was agreed with the SHAs that if “reasonable” choice was given and the patient still refused to accept the appointment offered, then this constituted a legitimate reason for a long stop appointment and for the cancer network to stop the clock.
