Cancer patients waiting up to 18 months for NHS treatment Cancer patients are waiting up to 18 months for treatment amid soaring NHS delays, new figures show.
The statistics released following Freedom of Information (FOI) requests show one patient waited 541 days for treatment after being referred urgently with suspected cancer by their GP. Another waited 446 days, against a target to complete treatment within 62 days.
Labour - which carried out the research - said the figures reflected an “abject failure” by Government to invest in health services, and prevent short staffing. The Daily Telegraph
