Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what radiotherapy services are located within West Sussex.
We understand that Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust is the Cancer Centre in Sussex.
We are informed by NHS England that there are plans to replace existing equipment at Brighton and increase radiotherapy capacity in line with the population's needs. New linear accelerator machines (linacs) are planned on new sites in Eastbourne and West Sussex and will increase total capacity to 10 linacs by the end of 2015.
