"Heart attack victims in Suffolk have been denied life-saving care after Ipswich Hospital lost out on a specialist treatment centre. This is the latest in a line of set backs for the hospital which last year saw its head and neck cancer surgery move to Norwich and is currently facing the threat of having pancreatic cancer surgery moved to Cambridge. Doctors made a bid for a Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Centre (PPCI) centre - which improves heart attack survival rates - to be established at the hospital in Heath Road. However the East of England Specialised Commissioning Group decided the specialist centres should be placed in Basildon in Essex, Papworth in Cambridgeshire and Norwich, but none in Suffolk" - EADT24Friday, February 20, 2009
