A total of 97 MRI machines were purchased through the £200 million equipment replacement programme to this specification from October 2019 to March 2021.

tabling member printed	Lord Mendelsohn
uin	HL4568
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2021 answer text <p>This specific assessment has not been made. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development records the number of magnetAic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners per million inhabitants in the United Kingdom. However, this data is UK-wide rather than for England. This data does not differentiate between machine type, therefore data for multi-parametric MRI scanners is not held in the format requested and does not allow this comparison to be made.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 10/12/2021 11:22:49 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
