More than 3,000 people are diagnosed with cancer at the Trust each year and will be able to access a wide range of information about cancer and cancer treatment as well as financial issues and other sources of support. 

The Cancer Information Service has been financed thanks to a £350,000 grant from Macmillan Cancer Support which is also providing funding for staff for the first three years.
