Where the funding will go
Improving the Cancer Journey (Glasgow City, West Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire): £4.91m
We will ensure that everyone in Glasgow City, West Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire who has been newly diagnosed with cancer will be offered the opportunity to have a conversation with a Macmillan Link Worker to discuss their support needs and create a personalised care plan. They will complete an electronic Holistic Needs Assessment (eHNA) to establish any physical, emotional, social or practical problems they may have. A care plan will then be created to meet those needs, with the eHNA accessed by everyone involved in their care – from hospital, to their GP, to social care.
Macmillan Grants: £1.695m
Macmillan Grants are one-off payments for people living with cancer who are in most financial need. They are given to help with additional costs such as travel to hospital or increased heating bills, which come at the very time people can least afford them. Based on historic grant giving, we can expect to give approximately £1.695m over the next three years in Greater Glasgow & Clyde.
Total: £6.605m
