Modernising radiotherapy services in England

Overview

NHS England has published the final service specifications for radiotherapy services in England.

The specifications mean that, during 2019, 11 Radiotherapy Operational Delivery Networks will be established across England. The role of each Network is to coordinate the development and improvement of radiotherapy services at pace and scale.

The published documents follow a three-month public consultation which received 11,542 online responses. NHS England has published a formal response to the key themes raised during the consultation.
