RCR calls for sustainable investment in imaging and cancer services in Spending Review 2021 The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) has submitted a spending review representation (PDF) to the Treasury, urging Government to invest in a robust and sustainable future for NHS imaging and cancer care.
Our submission outlines the vital role played by the RCR’s two medical specialties – with radiology services providing fast patient diagnoses and minimally-invasive surgery and clinical oncology delivering highly effective non-surgical cancer treatment. Chronic underinvestment meant these services were stretched before the arrival of coronavirus, and we are asking the Treasury to prioritise three vital resourcing needs over the next three years.
