One leading cancer charity said that the cancer care system is not fit for purpose and that lives where left hanging in the balance
I'm Matt Jones with news that fewer than 3% of NHS trusts in England have hit their cancer waiting-time targets, according to data released by the House of Commons public accounts committee. Most patients with an urgent referral from their GP are meant to be seen within 62 days, but the figures reveal that only three of the 125 trusts hit that target in 2022, and some trusts haven't met the standard for the last eight years. One leading cancer charity said that the cancer care system is not fit for purpose and that lives where left hanging in the balance. For more care stories, stay tuned to Care Radio.
