Cancer
(asked on 1st November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average waiting times are for a cancer referral in (a) Barts Health NHS Trust, (b) each hospital trust in London and (c) each hospital trust in England.
The information requested is not held centrally.
NHS England collects information on the number of patients referred to a consultant with suspected cancer or breast symptoms and those who subsequently started treated for cancer; and the number referred and starting treatment within the waiting times standards. However NHS England does not collect information relating to the number of cancelled appointments for cancer referrals.
The operational standard for patients with suspected cancer who are referred by their general practitioner (GP) to a consultant is that 93% of patients have a maximum two week wait.
The percentage of patients who had their first consultant appointment within two weeks of an urgent GP referral in August 2016 is shown in the table below.
