US EditionSix London NHS Trusts Set to Benefit From 'Cutting-Edge' Radiotherapy Machines
- Six London NHS Trusts are set to receive new cutting-edge linear accelerator radiotherapy machines funded by a £70 million government investment by August 2025.
- The investment addresses long-standing underinvestment of 14 years that left hospitals using outdated radiotherapy equipment older than a decade.
- The new machines can target tumors more precisely, reduce damage to healthy tissue, cut hospital visits, and treat cancers in harder-to-reach areas like the chest and pelvis.
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted that these advanced machines will reduce appointment cancellations and hospital visits, allowing many more patients to receive timely treatment, with up to 27,500 extra treatments expected annually by March 2027.
- This rollout is part of the government's Plan for Change, aiming to reduce waiting times, improve cancer care access nationwide, and is welcomed by charities as a major step forward.
