Isle of Wight NHS

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.

The new chair of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust has been announced by NHS Improvement.

The Isle of Wight Save Our NHS Group are concerned that Island residents are unaware of the potential changes to NHS services and are not getting enough information from the IW NHS Trust. They've been waiting for answers to questions for six weeks.

IOW Save our NHS Group are just one of many who have signed a letter congratulating Professor Stephen Hawking for making it clear that the current NHS and social care ‘crisis’ is due to political choice.

Once her term as Chair of the Board finishes, Eve will take on the role of Independent Chair of the Isle of Wight Stakeholder Reference Group.
