Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of the NHS cancer budget was spent on radiotherapy treatment in each of the last five years.
We are not able to provide this information. NHS England can only provide information on those services that it commissions through its specialised commissioning function. Other services would be commissioned locally by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and therefore not collected centrally.
The attached table shows a breakdown of figures for the years 2013-14 to 2017-18, as estimated for NHS England Specialised Commissioning by NHS England.
