To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many removals of surgical mesh have taken place at the University College London Hospital in each month since this service began.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many removals of surgical mesh have taken place at the University College London Hospital in each month since this service began.
There are nine specialist mesh centres across England, ensuring that women in every region with complications of mesh inserted for urinary incontinence and vaginal prolapse gets the right support. Each mesh centre is led by a multi-disciplinary team to ensure patients get access to the specialist care and treatment that they need, including pain management and psychological support.
According to information held by NHS England, since going live in July 2021, there have been 281 surgical mesh removal operations at the University College London Hospital. Monthly data is not available due to very low patient numbers per month.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) Centre treated 160 patients with PBT in its first year of operation (December 2018 – December 2019).

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the proton beam therapy machine at University College Hospital London is planned to be operational.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the proton beam therapy machine at University College Hospital London is planned to be operational.
NHS England and University College London Hospital (UCLH) are currently working with contractors to open the Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) centre as soon as possible following the COVID-19 pandemic. It is anticipated that the first patient treatment will be in 2021.
Apart from the current impact of COVID-19, the PBT service at UCLH has been delayed historically due to the complexity of the build on a constrained inner London site and, more recently due to water ingress, as reported to the National PBT Programme Board, the Department and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. These historic issues have been resolved.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether University College Hospital London included the provision of gamma knife services at its Queen Square site in its notification log to commissioners before 1 April 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether University College Hospital London included the provision of gamma knife services at its Queen Square site in its notification log to commissioners before 1 April 2013.
The Consolidated Notification Log 2012/13 record dated 30 September 2011 makes reference to a gamma knife service that might be available sometime in the future at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, part of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). A gamma knife service is not currently provided by the Trust.
A gamma knife service is provided by an independent provider called Queen’s Square Radiotherapy Centre Limited based at Queen’s Square (a site owned by UCLH).
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the final sign-off date is for two cyclotron-based proton beam radiotherapy machines at (a) University College Hospital, London and (b) the Christie Hospital, Manchester.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the final sign-off date is for two cyclotron-based proton beam radiotherapy machines at (a) University College Hospital, London and (b) the Christie Hospital, Manchester.
The planned date for approval of the preferred bidder of the proton beam equipment to both Trusts is March 2015 with contract signature following shortly after.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 21 July 2014, Official Report, column 1007W, on radiotherapy, in what respects University College Hospital London has failed to meet NHS England's service specifications for gamma knife services.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 21 July 2014, Official Report, column 1007W, on radiotherapy, in what respects University College Hospital London has failed to meet NHS England's service specifications for gamma knife services.
University College Hospitals London (UCHL) did not apply to be a contracted provider of gamma knife services for NHS England. For this reason it has not been formally assessed against the service specification. The gamma knife referred to is owned and operated by Queen’s Square Radiotherapy Centre (QSRC) Ltd, a private company wholly owned by Medical Equipment Solutions Limited, in premises owned by UCLH under a commercial agreement with UCLH.
As the National Health Service was going through a major transition in 2013-14 it was decided at that time that there should be no new market entrants for stereotactic radiotherapy services. Therefore only existing commissioned providers were asked to identify the services that they considered themselves to be providing, and UCLH did not express an interest in respect to gamma knife treatment. QSRC Ltd is not an existing NHS England commissioned provider and therefore was not assessed against the service specification.
All patients need to be treated in accordance with the prescribed clinical pathways and in line with contractual agreements with providers. If providers treat outside the required contractual agreements then they do so at their own financial risk, and this is why NHS England instructs hospitals to this effect where no contractual arrangement is in place.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made by NHS England on removing their ban on patients being treated by gamma knife at University College Hospital.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made by NHS England on removing their ban on patients being treated by gamma knife at University College Hospital.
Since 1 April 2013, NHS England has been responsible for commissioning all Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRS/SRT), which is the type of radiotherapy gamma knife provides. University College London Hospitals (UCLH) was not a designated provider of gamma knife services prior to 1 April and therefore did not have a contract with the national health service to provide this service. It is for this reason that NHS patients cannot be treated at this facility.
NHS England is currently undertaking a demand and capacity review project for SRS/SRT for intracranial conditions. The output of this project will be to inform a national commissioning strategy to support sustainable service commissioning across the 10 Area Teams commissioning specialised services. NHS England expects the strategy to be completed by the end of the year.
NHS England has said it would be inappropriate to consider UCLH in isolation while it is in the process of this important national review. It is essential that the services are considered as part of a coherent national strategy that will deliver a service; offering clinically safe and sustainable high quality specialist services for NHS patients on a national basis. At present there is sufficient capacity within the existing contracted providers to meet the commissioning requirements.
A £3-million gamma knife radiotherapy machine is sitting unused at University College hospital in London because NHS England refuses to send cancer patients there. Will the Leader of the House ask the Secretary of State for Health to look into that as a matter of urgency?

To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 15 October 2013, Official Report, columns 702-3W, on health services, (1) for what reasons NHS England refuses to allow treatment at University College London Hospital when the service is available on site;
From 1 April 2013, NHS England became responsible for commissioning all Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery Radiotherapy (SRT) services. Brain tumour patients requiring such services may access treatment from any provider with whom NHS England holds a contract for provision of such a service. University College London Hospital does not hold such a contract.
NHS England is undertaking a demand, and capacity review project for SRS and SRT for intracranial conditions. Until those capacity requirements are clear, NHS England has said it would be inappropriate to encourage new. market entrants to provide this service as it cannot be clear what the potential consequential impacts on service quality, sustainability (financial and clinical) and potential unintended changes to patient pathways will be. Until the review is complete no substantive changes will be made to the current provision.
No one should expect to wait more than 18 weeks from the time they are referred to the start of their non-emergency consultant-led treatment, unless it is clinically appropriate to do so or they choose to wait longer. Where the 18 week waiting time has not been met, the relevant commissioner has a duty to take all reasonable steps to ensure that person is offered an appointment with a range of alternative providers where the patient requests this.
