US EditionMachines that 'Transform Cancer Treatment' Will Be Given to 28 Hospitals in England
- Ministers announced a £70 million rollout of advanced radiotherapy machines to 28 hospitals in England starting in August 2025.
- This investment follows 14 years of under-investment that left NHS hospitals relying on radiotherapy machines over a decade old and malfunctioning.
- The new Linac machines offer safer, more precise treatment, especially for harder-to-reach areas like the chest and pelvis, and may reduce hospital visits.
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted that the introduction of this advanced equipment will increase available treatment resources, allowing up to 27,500 more patients to receive timely care annually by March 2027.
- This modernisation aims to reduce waiting times, improve treatment access, and provide more patients with timely, world-class cancer care across England.
