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 15 February 2021 to Question 149173 on Cancer: Medical Treatments, how much of the additional £1 billion made available at the 2020 Spending Review to help tackle the elective backlog will be allocated directly to addressing 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.
