Radiotherapy: Medical Equipment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding was allocated to the emergency radiotherapy capital equipment fund in 2024-25; and which hospital trusts have been awarded that funding.

- £2.5 million for the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust;
- £2.3 million for the Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust;
- £2.2 million for the South Tees Hospitals NHS Trust;
- £3.2 million for the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust;
- £2.4 million for the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust; and
