The challenge

• Capacity

The waiting area [at the Lister] is too small and it’s getting

• worse. There are a lot more people there. There’s always a few

people standing. I’m usually there two or three hours in total. They need more space – it’s too cramped.

facilities

The challenge

When you’re on the [chemo] machine, you have to go through the seating area where all the people are, go round them where they’re sitting, so everyone’s watching you go to the toilet, and when you open the toilet door, there’s about ten people looking in.

The challenge

• Services and

facilities don’t join up

I think for the staff it’s going to make a bigger difference as well. I feel lucky that I’m being looked after and the treatment I get, someone knows that’s best for me.
