Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress has been made in upgrading the cancer facilities at Mount Vernon Hospital; and if he will make a statement.

The cancer service is not clinically sustainable on its present site and a review is underway to relocate the services. Final options are expected to be decided in April 2021 before the public consultation which is expected to start from June 2021 and a decision expected next autumn.
