Radiotherapy: Medical Equipment
Asked by: Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat - Wells and Mendip Hills) Thursday 24th April 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 7 April 2025 to Question 41044 on Radiotherapy, by how much the National Health Service’s capital settlement for 2024-2025 was underspent; how much of the total 2024-2025 settlement was allocated for radiotherapy equipment; whether the £15 million additional funds were in addition to the 2024-2025 radiotherapy equipment settlement; and how much has been allocated from the 2025-2026 capital settlement for new radiotherapy equipment. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The National Health Service’s capital settlement for 2024/25 underspend figure is not yet available, although it should be included in the NHS’s annual accounts, which will be published later this year. £15 million was allocated from capital underspend to replace ageing radiotherapy equipment, as per the answer I gave on 7 April 2025 to Question 41044. Any other spending on radiotherapy equipment was allocated at local level, and we do not hold details on this spend. £70 million of central capital funding was announced as part of the Autumn Budget in 2024, which will be used to replace 28 machines during 2025/26. |

Radiotherapy: Medical Equipment
Asked by: Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat - Wells and Mendip Hills) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of restricting the radiotherapy machine fund to replacing only end of life machines on his Department's ability to make new radiotherapy capacity available in 2025-26 financial year. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The £70 million fund will replace older radiotherapy machines with new, more efficient radiotherapy machines, which will in turn increase treatment capacity and allow more patients to be treated. All future spending commitments beyond 2025/26, including the replacement of radiotherapy equipment, will be determined through the next phase of the Spending Review process, which will conclude in June. |

Radiotherapy: Medical Equipment
Asked by: Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat - Wells and Mendip Hills) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) online and (b) in person meetings NHS England had with (i) Varian, (ii) Elekta and (iii) Accuray before setting the criteria for the allocation of funding for new radiotherapy machines. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) We do not currently hold this information, but we are seeking advice from NHS England on whether any engagement took place between NHS England and the medical companies listed. The Government does not routinely publish correspondence between NHS England and medical companies. We have various communication channels to keep the public and stakeholders updated on our work to improve cancer care. |

Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme: Wells and Mendip Hills
Asked by: Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat - Wells and Mendip Hills) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much funding was received by listed places of worship in the (a) Wells and Mendip constituency and (b) the Wells constituency prior to boundary changes in each year since 2001. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) We are unable to provide data going back to 2001, as the Department only has reliable data from August 2022. Data ranging from 2014 to 2022 was collated by the previous grant administrator and is less reliable, though work has been undertaken by DCMS to improve its quality. Data prior to 2014 is no longer available. Systems have been updated to reflect the new constituency boundaries and we are now unable to provide annual data for the Wells Constituency. Since August of 2022, a total of £391,543.99 worth of funding has been received by listed places of worship in the Wells and Mendip constituency.

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is actively engaging with Astra Zeneca for any applications in flight. We recognise the importance of the rapid assessment of the medicines mentioned and we are ensuring the decisions made appropriately assess quality, safety, and efficacy. |
