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 latest 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 6,397 patients received IMRT during the period from December 2014 to February 2015, a proportion of 37% of patients requiring radical radiotherapy.

NHS England does not hold data centrally relating to the proportion of cancer patients receiving stereotactic radiotherapy.
