need to move my loo

I need some help , please !! At last I am getting a new bathroom . My current toilet is on the main wall and I need to move it to the right hand wall .
The problem I have is that the floor is concrete and the waste goes into the floor .
What is the best way to deal with the problem ? Can I run a soil pipe around to the new location (providing I can get the right gradient for the pipe)? Most of the pipe would be hidden by the new bath and the rest could be boxed in .
How many bends are allowed or would be practical ?
Hope some one can help :)

    If you are paying for this to be done, then it will add a fair bit to the cost, as they will have to excavate through the concrete, and it could be deep. My soil pipe had to be move back 6", and it was a good half days work for two people with a pneumatic drill. No idea if it can be moved though.

    Sorry to state the obvious, but you will also need to reroute the supply pipe to the r/h wall as well.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
