The Royal Surrey County Hospital is to share in a £130m investment to update radiotherapy services.
The hospital trust is one of 15 that will receive a new state-of-the-art radiotherapy machine as part of ambitious plans from NHS England.
The announcement was made by NHS England’s chief executive Simon Stevens at the Britain Against Cancer Conference, where he also outlined plans to invest an additional £200m in cancer services over the next two years.
The trust currently runs seven Linac machines over two sites, which are used to treat 3,200 NHS patients each year. Across the entire NHS up to half of the cancer patients who are cured benefit from radiotherapy treatment.
