Brain Cancer

Mr. Graham Stuart
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent assessment his Department has made of the standard of treatment of acoustic neuromas; what steps his Department is taking to raise the level of public awareness of that condition; and if he will make a statement.

Ann Keen
We have made no assessment of the standard of treatment of acoustic neuromas. The NHS Choices website at:

www.nhs.uk/conditions/acoustic-neuroma/Pages/Introduction.aspx

contains detailed information suitable for health professionals and the general public on the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this rare neurological condition.
