Mater hospital renews MRI bid
THE Calvary Mater hospital has renewed its bid to attract Government funding for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to complement its cancer services.
The State Government is expected to announce within the first quarter of this year the successful applicants for several new MRI scanners around the State.
Calvary Mater cancer patients needing an MRI scan are taken to the John Hunter Hospital, a time-consuming and often uncomfortable process for ill patients.
Calvary Mater general manager Colin Osborne said it was essential that an MRI scanner be at the hospital.
