Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:04 pm on 22 November 2016.
Well, three examples: we are investing nearly £10 million in new linear accelerators so that patients can have access to the latest radiotherapy techniques. Our regional centres perform well in terms of the rate of intensity-modulated radiotherapy. We are committed to a new £200 million Velindre cancer centre, and, through the transforming cancer services programme, we will revolutionise the way that cancer services are delivered in the south-east of Wales. We have agreed £3 million of funding for decontamination facilities in endoscopy units and at least £6 million for a pilot diagnostic hub in Cwm Taf, as the Member has mentioned. All of these things, taken together, will continue to improve the outlook for so many of those who are living with cancer—to use the correct terminology.
