<p>NHS England have advised that in the answer given by the previous Minister of State
(Mr Philip Dunne MP) to Question 117849, the number of hospital trusts who stated
that interventional radiology (IR) was available for patients seven days a week was
incorrectly given as 109. The following table, which shows a regional breakdown for
seven day access to IR, provides the actual figure of 107.</p><p> </p><p>We have corrected
the official record.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>NHS England Region</p></td><td><p>Number
of trusts reporting seven day access to interventional radiology</p></td><td><p>Number
of trusts reporting lack of seven day access to interventional radiology</p></td><td><p>Trusts
where this intervention is not applicable (e.g. some specialist trusts)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North</p></td><td><p>35</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Midlands
