Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much of the additional £6.6 billion made available to the NHS until September 2021, announced on 18 March 2021, will be allocated to cancer services and tackling the cancer backlog.
The Department does not hold the information requested.
Funding allocations for services is a decision for local service providers, though cancer funding continues to be a priority.
