Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the (a) levels of cancer diagnoses and (b) forecasted increases in diagnosis will affect resources apportioned by the Government for treating cancer patients in Stockport Constituency and Borough.

Funding allocated to integrated care boards in England for the provision of services, including in Stockport, is determined by a range of factors. While this does not specifically include the level of cancer diagnoses, the funding formula takes account of local factors such as age, deprivation and unmet health needs, which may have a correlation with cancer rates in that area.
