Don’t sell off NHS cancer scanning to private companies

Stop the privatisation of cancer scanning at Oxford’s Churchill Hospital. Please reverse this decision and stop private companies from running this cancer scanning service.
Why is this important?
A few months ago I needed to attend Churchill Hospital several times for treatment in relation to suspected prostate cancer. The services I received were both speedy and efficient. I received excellent care from both administrative and medical staff.
I was horrified to learn that a tendering process had resulted in the sale of the Churchill PET Scanning services to a private company.
The Churchill Hospital is a recognised centre of excellence in relation to cancer care and all efforts must be made to preserve the integrity of this precious resource.
The Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has the power to stop this sale going ahead.
This decision needs to be reversed as soon as possible.
