Answer
In 2021/22, we have provided £325 million to support the launch of over 40 community diagnostic centres (CDCs) by the end of March 2022. A list of the locations is attached. This also includes 36 early adopter sites which are currently providing additional diagnostic capacity to support the recovery of elective services.
We have committed £2.3 billion to open up to 160 CDCs by March 2025. Regions are working with integrated care systems, diagnostic networks and primary care services to determine the location and configuration of services for the next cohort, based on the needs of the local population.
