Clinical service framework for optimising cancer care in NSW [electronic resource] / NSW Health

"In NSW services for the management of cancer are delivered by public, private and community organisations functioning in a range of settings including hospitals, doctors rooms, general practices, community health centres and the home environment.Within the current system, there is often insufficient linkage between these service providers, which compromises coordination, continuity, convenience and cost-effectiveness of patient care. It is acknowledged that service provision for people with cancer needs to be improved to ensure that a consistent and high standard of cancer care and evidence-based best practice is available to all NSW residents regardless of geographical, socio-economic or cultural considerations." -- p. 1
