THE Christie hospital is celebrating “excellent” results in its annual patient survey.

The Christie — where many of Bolton’s cancer patients are treated — scored “better” than most other trusts in 46 and “about the same” in 12 out of 58 questions in the survey for 2013.

A spokesman said: “We’re delighted with these findings that reflect our commitment to delivering the very highest quality care and treatment with real patient benefits.

“It’s positive to see that our patients, who are at the heart of everything we do, are pleased with the care and treatment they receive here at The Christie.”
