The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support cancer care in Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department is working closely with NHS England to make sure we have the right workforce with the right skills up and down the country, including in Milton Keynes. This also includes cancer care and treatment.

The Government believes that cancer patients are waiting too long for diagnosis and treatment. We will get the National Health Service diagnosing cancer earlier and treating it faster. We will improve patients’ experience across the system.
