answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>Clinical commissioning groups are not responsible for ensuring access to advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). The commissioning of all radiotherapy in England is the responsibility of NHS England’s Specialised Commissioning team. Access to IMRT is monitored against a national average access standard of 25%, performance against this standard is consistently around 45%. From April 2019, Radiotherapy Networks, working in close partnership with Specialised Commissioners and Cancer Alliances, will play a key role in increasing access to both advanced and innovative radiotherapy, as well as ensuring adherence to best practice treatment protocols.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 171340 question first answered 11/09/2018 14:23:08 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>The purpose of the £130 million modernisation fund was to upgrade or replace existing, older radiotherapy equipment. None of this funding was therefore spent on new equipment for newly commissioned satellite centres. Future funding decisions, including on new satellite centres, will be made after the fund ends in October 2018.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 14/06/2018 10:56:11 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
