Investing in facilities
-
Last modified date:3 May 2006
The Cancer Plan promised substantial investment in facilities. The programmes to replace old equipment and provide new additional equipment are well underway.
New and replacement equipment delivered through central programmes includes, as of 19th April 2006, 146 new MRI scanners, 135 Linear Accelerators, 224 CT scanners and over 730 items of breast screening equipment.
This means that, in total, approximately 71% of MRI scanners, 77% of CT scanners and 75% of Linear Accelerators now in use in the NHS are new since January 2000.
