Mr. Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what statistics he collects on the provision of scanners within the NHS. [51095]

Statistics are not collected centrally on the provision of scanners in the National Health Service. However, we estimate that there are approximately 150 magnetic resonance imaging and 350 computed tomography scanners in the NHS.
