Information has been provided in the attached tables .

This data shows the two-week referral to treatment standard over the periods June 2020 and June 2019, at clinical commissioning group and regional level.

This data is provisional and subject to change.

It should be noted that figures refer to the number of episodes and not the number of people as someone may be referred for more than one type of cancer to different consultants.
