To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to help increase access to radiotherapy treatments in the 10-year cancer plan; and if he will meet with parliamentarians and Radiotherapy UK to discuss that matter.
Maria Caulfield
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
The forthcoming 10 Year Cancer Plan is currently in development and we are assessing evidence on a range of policy proposals. We are also analysing the responses received to the call for evidence which closed in early April. A meeting with members of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Radiotherapy and representatives of Radiotherapy UK has been scheduled.
