Cancer: Halton

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 31 March to Question 174223 on Cancer: Halton, how many and what proportion of cancer patients in the Halton Local Authority area who received an urgent referral received their first treatment within 62 days of that referral in the latest period for which data is available.

Answer

This information is not collected in the format requested. Data on cancer patients who received an urgent referral and the time in which they received their first treatment is not collected at local authority level.

NHS England publish cancer waiting times data at trust level. Provisional data from NHS England for February 2023 shows Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provided first treatment to 27 patients who received an urgent general practitioner referral for suspected cancer within 62 days of that referral. This equates to 57% of all cancer patients who received an urgent referral to Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
