Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people were waiting more than 62 days for initial treatment for cancer in the London Borough of Redbridge in the most recent period for which that information is available.
Most recent official data for Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) shows in January 2021, 19 out of 24 cancer patients were treated within the 85% threshold, against the 62-day general practitioner referral to first treatment for cancer standard. Five patients waited over 62 days for their first cancer treatment at Redbridge CCG.
