The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the cost of new technology for cancer screening.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

Capital spend for new screening technology is held under the same budget as wider spend on diagnostic equipment for the National Health Service, and therefore we cannot provide the specific information requested.
