The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has decided on the future availability of the Complex Cancer Late Effects Rehabilitation Service provided by Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The responsibility for the delivery, implementation and funding decisions for services ultimately rests with the appropriate National Health Service commissioning body. NHS England commissions the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust’s Complex Cancer Late Effects Rehabilitation Service. NHS England has no immediate plans to decommission the rehabilitation service.
