The NHS is axing two thirds of cancer targets in a bid to speed up diagnosis
'You've given me the gift of life': Cancer patient, 29, thanks LBC listeners who raised tens of thousands for treatmentThe outcome of the consultation is expected to be announced within days. Health Secretary Steve Barclay will have final approval.
Patients who receive a cancer diagnosis will start treatment within nine weeks from the date of referral, dubbed a 62-day referral to treatment standard. The health service currently has nine cancer performance targets across three broad areas, including: the two-week wait between a GP referral and first consultant appointment; a one-month wait for care once a decision has been made to offer treatment for cancer such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery; and a two-month wait from the urgent GP referral to a first treatment of cancer.
