The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to improve treatment for people with glioblastoma brain tumours.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

One of the Secretary of State’s first acts as Minister was to meet with clinicians to discuss what more we can do to diagnose and treat patients with brain tumours including glioblastoma.

In September 2024, my Department announced new funding opportunities for brain tumour research to make sure promising treatments are made available to patients.
