Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of regional variations in waiting times for diagnostic imaging appointments.
No recent assessment has been made of trends in the level of regional variations in waiting times for diagnostic imaging appointments.
We are committed to transforming diagnostic services and are supporting the National Health Service to increase diagnostic capacity to bring down the size of the list and reduce waiting times, including for imaging diagnostic tests.
