Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate his Department has made of the number of patients who will be able to access treatments for colorectal cancer on the NHS from April 2016.
This question was answered on 8th March 2016
NHS England has advised that all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer will continue to be able to access treatment for their disease. It is not possible to estimate the numbers of patients who will be able to access both current and future specific treatments for colorectal cancers as there is a wide range of treatments available and these are ever changing.
