Terminal Southland man's wife thinks charity hospital viable

The wife of a terminally-ill Southland man says she feels very confident that a charity hospital in the region will be a reality after last night's meeting. Melissa Vining and her husband, Blair, have been campaigning for better cancer care since Mr Vining was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer, and are now pushing for a charity hospital in Southland. Mrs Vining says the idea has already got significant support.
