Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of cancer patients received (a) intensity modulated and (b) stereotactic radiotherapy in the most recent month for which figures are available.

NHS England monitors the progress in achieving the following standard:

- A minimum 24% of patients requiring radical radiotherapy have access to inverse planned Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT).

NHS England monitors this standard as a three month rolling average. The latest data shows that 6,492 patients received IMRT during the period from October to December 2014, a proportion of 36% of patients requiring radical radiotherapy.

Data relating to the proportion of cancer patients receiving stereotactic radiotherapy is not held centrally.
