Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many individual funding requests per indication were received by NHS England for radiotherapy treatment in the last financial year; and how many such requests were refused.

407 individual funding requests were received for stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy in 2013-14 nationally. Of these 86 were declined. There were no individual funding requests for other types of radiotherapy.
