Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to devolve any aspect of radiotherapy commissioning to integrated care boards in (a) Crawley constituency and (b) England; and if he will make a statement.

NHS England’s National Moderation Panel will determine how many integrated care boards (ICBs) will take on responsibility for specialised commissioning in October 2023. Following this moderation process, recommendations will be taken to the NHS England Board for final decisions in December 2023, before new arrangements go live from April 2024.

This process will consider the delegation of radiotherapy commissioning for ICBs across England including across the Crawley constituency.
