Liberal Democrat — Westmorland and Lonsdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 February 2025

Debate

Accessibility of Radiotherapy

Contribution

My hon. Friend is absolutely correct. Back at the time of the last Labour Government, the national radiotherapy advisory group recommended that it was bad practice for anybody to live beyond 45 minutes of a radiotherapy centre one-way, or a round trip of an hour and a half, yet so many people—7.5 million people—including his constituents and my constituents, live beyond that.
