Radio host Tom Elliott has just taken a call from a very distressed aunty of a 7 year old boy. The young lad has an aggressive form of juvenile cancer that requires 17 cycles of chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radiotherapy.

The young lad was due to have his 6th chemotherapy cycle at the Royal Children's Hospital 3 days ago but was told that it was cancelled as there were no beds available. The parents of the young lad are at their wits end. The best the hospital could suggest is that the family contact the Health Department, which they did two days ago.

So far there has been zero contact from the Victorian Health Department. Meanwhile the young lad's urgently required chemo cycle is already 3 days late.

How is it that Andrews can find $15 million in a day or two for a netball team but cannot find a bead for a seven year old boy for a regular chemotherapy cycle.

This is what is wrong with Victoria and sums up Andrews 200%.

This is a disgraceful position. Andrews should hang his head in shame.

The kid's Aunty, eh? Veering a bit into the friend of a friend regime.

Did Tom Elliot contact RCH, the parents or the Health Department for comment? Or does this go into the usual category of things talkback radio hosts claim but didn't actually happen?
