Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to provide centralised capital funding for NHS Trusts to ensure sufficient infrastructure capacity is secured for the equitable delivery of future radioligand therapy cancer treatments.

NHS England and NHS Improvement have no plans to do so. However, NHS England and NHS Improvement have published guidance on capital allocations and planning arrangements to support integrated care systems, which is available at the following link:

This is designed to enable capital to be deployed in accordance with local priorities.
