A RADIOTHERAPY unit could open as early as 2017 at the Great Western Hospital after proposals for a new centre were submitted to planning chiefs.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust have lodged a planning application for the new service which would allow thousands of cancer sufferers in Swindon to receive care on their doorstep and avoid the long drive to John Radcliffe Hospital for radiotherapy treatment.
Earlier this year, the OUHT board proposed to invest £14.7million in a new unit to be built at GWH with the hospital asked to raise the remaining £2.5m necessary to make the service a reality.
The application will be put to Swindon Council’s planning committee for approval.
