Radiotherapy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that every cancer patient who needs it has access to modern and timely radiotherapy cancer treatment.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government is taking decisive action to get the National Health Service diagnosing cancer earlier and treating it faster.
We have invested £70 million in replacing outdated radiotherapy machines across the NHS with cutting-edge technology that will speed up treatment for thousands of patients. These new machines are being rolled out across the country.
