Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure geographical equality in the level of breast cancer care in (a) Lincoln constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire West Clinical Commissioning Group offer a triple assessment to all patients referred on the two week wait breast cancer pathway. This means that during an appointment the patient will see a surgeon, a mammography radiographer and a radiologist. This is in line with accepted best practice.
