Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 7 November 2014 to Question 213360, which of the centres reviewed support the running of a seven-day service.
The proposal of a seven-day service is part of NHS England's consultation on the future configuration of services for stereotactic radiosurgery which closes on 26 January 2015. Providers are encouraged to input into the consultation process through:

As a result of consultation feedback, NHS England will make the decision whether to procure a seven-day service. At this point providers can consider whether they wish to offer a service on this basis.
