Overall care results are even better than last year, with 99 per cent of surveyed cancer patients rating their overall care as ‘very good’ or ‘good.’
This result is truly testament to the expert, passionate health professionals working in our outpatient settings. I cannot thank them enough for their commitment to people with cancer in NSW.
