WHAT ABOUT WALES AND SCOTLAND?

In Wales the number of cancer networks has already reduced from three to two, and may drop down to one, said Damian Heron, the North Wales Cancer Network's director/associate chief of staff operations and planning. "It is my understanding that it was onty the North Wales Cancer Network that had a dedicated pharmacist and, though she has gone, this was more because of integration of the network and a health board rather than any health cut through removal of structures," he told The Journal, This integration has some advantages in that the networks, which were advisory-only, have now "moved up a peg to be operational and accountable", he said.
