Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of consultant paediatric interventional radiology posts in (a) Enfield North constituency (b) the London Borough of Enfield and (c) London.

‘Improving Paediatric Interventional Radiology services in the UK,’ the report published by the Royal College of Radiologists in April 2023, states that there are currently 12 dedicated consultant Paediatric Interventional Radiology posts in the UK, 7 of which are in London. No further assessments or estimates have been made by the Department. I am pleased to be meeting the Royal College of Radiologists in June to discuss their report.
