Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of new community diagnostic hubs that will be open and operational by (a) 1 December 2021 and (b) 1 January 2022.
NHS England and NHS Improvement have advised that there were 65 community diagnostic centres (CDCs) operational as of 1 December 2021 and 69 as of 1 January 2022. These figures include early adopter sites, which offer a smaller range of diagnostic services in comparison to other CDCs.
