CanAssist restructure will provide the local branch with greater independence, president Gen Croaker said.

SOLD: CanAssist has sold its patient accommodation facility, Jean Colvin House in Double Bay, as part of a restructure.

Changes to the overall operation of CanAssist will provide the local branch with greater independence, president Gen Croaker said yesterday.

Ms Croaker said CanAssist was undergoing a complete revamp.

The organisations head office is downsizing by selling its patient accommodation facility, Jean Colvin House in Double Bay. Accommodation provided for support people and carers has also been sold off.

Ms Croaker said the reality was that very few Bathurst patients travel to Sydney for their cancer treatment these days, with most undergoing radiation in Orange.

She said community transports radiation bus transports patients from Bathurst to Orange, and then brings them back afterwards.

This has alleviated much of the need to travel to Sydney, except in rare or extreme cases.

Ms Croaker said the fact that fewer people need to seek treatment in Sydney was one of the factors in CanAssists decision to sell Jean Colvin House.
