Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the condition of NHS hospital equipment.
This question was answered on 15th October 2024
The Darzi review made it clear that the NHS has been starved of capital, with outdated scanners and is 15 years behind the independent sector in its use of technology.
We will make the NHS fit for the future, replacing outdated equipment and providing hospitals with the latest technology.
This will provide quicker, more effective, efficient diagnosis and a better experience for patients.
