The migration of oncology services from Boffa Hospital to the Sir Anthony Mamo centre has been completed, Parliamentary Secretary for Health Chris Fearne said today.

The 113-bed centre, built next to Mater Dei Hospital, welcomed its first outpatients in December. The migration of services and in-patients started last month.

The site of the new oncology centre started being excavated in 2010 and building started in 2012.

The facility cost €52 million and needs an estimated €8 million a year for administration purposes.
