UK Government says the expansion helped deliver one million extra scans a year across England.

- NHS England data cited by the government show 125 more CT and MRI scanners from March 2024 to March 2026.

Why it matters: The government says added capacity is supporting earlier diagnosis and faster treatment; those outcomes are not independently verified here.
