What consideration has the Welsh Government given to the need for the physical expansion of facilities in the only CAR-T unit in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
The Welsh Government has received a strategic outline case from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for the development of new facilities at the University Hospital Wales to provide Bone Marrow Transplant, complex oncology, and cancer research. This proposal includes additional capacity for Chimeric Antigen Receptors Cell Therapy (CAR-T). This business case is currently being considered by the NHS Infrastructure Investment Board’s routine scrutiny process.
