Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what further funding will be available for modernising radiotherapy after the closure of the current fund in October 2018.
This question was answered on 4th June 2018
The radiotherapy modernisation fund, launched in October 2016, committed £130 million of investment to develop and upgrade current linear accelerators aged 10 years or more. By the end of March 2018, the fund had enabled the replacement or upgrade of 56 machines. Future funding decisions, including on new satellite centres, will be made after the fund ends in October 2018.
