Regret the Error

Cancer headline: StateHealth Minister Jim McGinty points out that the words between quotation marks in the headline Cancer services ‘close to collapse’ (page 1, August 20) were our interpretation and were not included in the Barton report, which was the source of the story. The Barton report, commissioned by the Cancer Council, said cancer treatment services in WA failed to meet current demand and that plans for the future were inadequate and should be urgently reviewed. The quotation in the headline was intended as a summary.
