Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when NHS England will publish the results of its review of stereotactic radiosurgery; and for what reasons NHS England is not publishing all submissions to that review.

NHS England undertook a service review and needs assessment during 2014, with appropriate public consultation, which concluded that a procurement process was required to ensure that patients are able to access high quality sustainable stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy services. The consultation report is due to be published shortly, which will also describe the next steps to further improve these services.

In line with other similar public consultation exercises, NHS England is due to publish a consultation report outlining the key themes of the consultation findings on its website.
