The U.K. government set aside 250 million pounds ($380 million) to build two proton-beam cancer therapy centers as it seeks to catch up with the U.S. and other countries in Europe that already offer the treatment.

The new centers will be located in London and Manchester and will serve about 1,500 patients beginning in 2018, Public Health Minister Anna Soubry said in a statement today.
