What great news that a new radio therapy centre for the treatment of cancer patients is being built at Tauranga hospital.
The BOP Health Board covers a very large area so construction of the new unit will mean patients will no longer have to travel to Hamilton.
At a cost of $32 million the building, which includes shielded bunkers, high tech modern equipment and parking for radio therapy patients this will be a very valuable addition to BOP health services.
As a result of this announcement I have a question for the trust pushing for a Tauranga museum. Why when this fully equipped radiotherapy unit costs $32 million, is the proposed museum building alone going to cost $25 million.
This appears to be a ridiculous figure for a museum building. It appears that the museum trust members have very grandiose ideas for a facility that is far larger than required and like the Art Gallery will probably run at a loss through poor business management.
Even a cost of $10 million seems over the top to me.
The modern Museum Trust who wish to use the old Cossie Club building at the Mount for a musem appear to be far more practical.

sorry but 32 million is a waste of money on a failed "officially accepted" treatment for cancer. Did you know that Chemo worldwide has a 3% success rate, but the giant chemo drug corporations make billions in profits from it and they don't want cancer cured because that means and end to there big scam. There have been many cures for cancer discovered over the years, all from NATURAL NON TOXIC PLANT BASED MATERIAL, The latest and most effective cure is pure cannabis resin extract, discovered back in 2008 by Rick Simpson in Canada. Since then it has had a 97% success rate curing cancer and many other serious diseases. The whole cancer treatment industry is all about money, think about it, how many billions has been raised in the name of research to find a cure? they don't want a cure, because if there was a cure then they'd have no drugs to sell. Our modern lifestyle with processed food, dirty air, fluoridated water and electromagnetic devices weakening our immune system is the cause of all our ills. If modern medicine is so wonderful, why do we have record numbers of disease ridden people. Free the weed, free your mind and break free from the corrupt toxic chemical medical establishment.
