Mr. Paul Marsden
To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to inform the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital of his decision on the provision of a second linear accelerator for radiography treatment; and if he will make a statement. [79593]
Mr. Denham
The National Health Service Executive West Midlands Regional Office is carefully considering a business case and hopes to make a decision as soon as possible. The prime consideration will be establishing a safe and sustainable service. Work currently taking place on developing a national framework for radiotherapy services as well as a regional cancer strategy will inform the decision.
