Radiotherapy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a national radiotherapy advisory group.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Government recognises radiotherapy as a crucial part of cancer treatment, which is why we have invested £70 million in 28 new radiotherapy machines to ensure the most advanced radiotherapy treatment is available to patients when they need it.
There are no current plans to establish a national radiotherapy advisory group, however, the Government regularly engages with key stakeholders, including the All Party Parliamentary Group on Radiotherapy.
