Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment has he made of the adequacy of MRI capacity in the North East.
This question was answered on 11th December 2023
Integrated care boards are ultimately responsible for planning and reviewing healthcare services in line with the needs of their populations.
Growth in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) asset base and increased use of MRI acceleration software is creating additional capacity for approximately 572,000 MRI examinations per annum within the National Health Service in England. This capacity will be used to support both paediatric and adult waiting lists.
