Resolved
That it be agreed to donate £30,000 to support the Brodey Centre Cancer Care Appeal Fund.
Reasons - The appeal is looking to raise £300,000 including furnishings and equipment. To date, almost £250,000 has been raised. The Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Trust is committed to funding current and future staff requirements which will be part of the budget setting and business planning process. It has already invested in extra clinical and support staff to enable the Centre to treat more patients, and offer them access to important clinical trials. In addition, it will fund on-costs such as the ongoing maintenance of the building and equipment.
