Notes:
The data are published to monitor performance against the NHS Constitution pledge that there should be a maximum one month (31-day) wait from diagnosis to first definitive treatment for all cancers. Other patients who started first definitive treatment in earlier months may still have been undergoing treatment in August 2016.
