Slow response to cancer patient survey

Sat, 06 Aug 2011

Cancer patients who've been asked to take part in the Department of Health's biggest cancer patient survey are being asked to get their responses in as soon as possible.

So far, only a third of those sent the questionnaire have responded.

Around 500 people are diagnosed with cancer on the Isle of Man every year, and the Department hopes the results of this survey will help shape its future strategy for cancer care.

It's hoped the results will be available early next year.
