Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has taken steps to improve patient access to selective internal radiation therapy since that treatment received a NICE technology appraisal in March 2021.

NHS England and NHS Improvement are expanding the number of trusts which are commissioned to provide selective internal radiation therapy. This involves a market assessment and Prior Information Notice, which is in the final stages of completion.
