At first I honestly thought that this was an April Fools joke, I cannot fucking believe that this is real.

In May 2024, the previous government authorised £15 million over three years for auto-contouring. NHS trusts started installing these systems assuming the funding was secured.

There’s a shortage of radiotherapists. They say the AI systems are just letting them keep up with the workload. Radiotherapy UK says cutting auto-contouring will add 500,000 patient-days to waiting lists.

I am completely speechless.
