Greg O’Mara, Associate Director of CMCA, said: “We are delighted to be able to publish our Annual Report, which gives updates on all our activities over the past year and some of our objectives for the coming 12 months.
“The amount of activity has been tremendous and the progress we have made in many areas is encouraging, as Cheshire and Merseyside’s cancer services recover from the pandemic.
“It has been a challenging time for everyone who works in the field of cancer treatment and care and I would like to thank the staff at the Alliance for their hard work and dedication, and to our colleagues in stakeholder organisations for their help and support with these projects and programmes.”
