MP's praise for care he received from NHS
Blyth Valley MP Ronnie Campbell said: “The cancer treatment I got was first class.”
Mr Campbell received chemotherapy at Wansbeck, but his operation and specialist treatment was at the RVI in Newcastle. Both Northumbria and Newcastle health trusts easily topped the 77 per cent national average for planned cancer operations.

“But I must give credit where it is due and the picture in the North East reflects the dedication and hard work of all staff to focus healthcare where it is most needed.”
