CLIVE Stone argues forcefully for more transparency over the decision to ditch installing a new state-of-the-art Gamma Knife Centre here in Oxford.
Mr Stone believes National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) is already cutting back on drug treatment because it thinks the Cancer Drugs Fund will pick up the bill and that patients are not seen as worth the cost of long-term treatment.
It really speaks ill of our health service when patients form this view of the system that should be helping them.
