A top oncologist says the health board should have publicly supported doctors who were criticised in a report.
The situation has emerged three years after an investigation into chemotherapy treatment at Ninewells Hospital.
"The first thing the health board need to do is to come clean, and say we got it wrong, we put our hands up, we want to start again with a clean slate and we want to attract good people to come to Tayside to deliver breast cancer services to the patients whose needs we serve."Ann, 80, has to make her way from Dundee to Edinburgh for breast cancer treatment and finds the travel stressful
The health board is right to point out that there is a national shortage of specialist doctors and that has made recruitment hard, but there are some highly-skilled medics close to those involved who think it did not need to come to this. The health board will undoubtedly have legitimate reasons for the way it has responded to this situation, and say they have an "absolute commitment" to rebuilding the service, but how difficult will it be to find the highly-skilled staff they need?Les Johnson lost his wife Ruth to breast cancer in November and wants a full investigation into the service.
