Having oncology facilities located within Noble's Hospital is 'proving a big advantage'.

That's according to Senior Sister of Chemotherapy, Jane Gaunt, ahead of the official opening of the Eric & Marion Scott Oncology Unit this weekend.

The facility replaces the previous stand-alone complex and comes with a dedicated car park and direct entrance to allow patients to come and go discreetly and swiftly.

The unit will be formally declared open by Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, in a ceremony on tomorrow.
