Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing new community diagnostic centres.
We have committed £2.3 billion to open up to 160 community diagnostic centres (CDCs) in England by March 2025. To date, existing CDCs have delivered over 550,000 additional tests and scans, with approximately a further nine million anticipated by 2025.
