Multiple Myeloma
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many hospital trusts treat people with multiple myeloma; and how many patients they have treated in 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Answered by Mrs Sharon Hodgson
The Department does not hold this data in the requested format. We do hold data on cancer diagnosis and treatment, including for myeloma, which can be found at the following link:

We will build directly on the 10-Year Health Plan’s mission to make data the backbone of a modern, responsive National Health Service. We will help improve cancer waiting times by providing trusts and Cancer Alliances with more granular and actionable data, including disaggregated data for specific cancer types, real-time pathway analytics via the Federated Data Platform, and streamlined cancer metrics to expose unwarranted variation. Trust boards will receive regular performance reports, and clearer public reporting, including more transparent league table style data, which will strengthen accountability and drive faster improvement.
