This question was answered on 7th February 2018
In April 2012, my Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced that £250 million will be invested to build proton beam therapy facilities at The Christie Hospital in Manchester and University College London Hospitals in London. Building work is well underway on both sites and service planning and development is on schedule to begin treating patients from August 2018 at The Christie and summer 2020 for University College London Hospitals.
