From Cancer waiting times 1 July to 30 September 2024, released today, the above graph and:
72.1% of patients started treatment within 62 days. 94.3% of patients started treatment within 31 days.
The equivalent data for NHS England are 67.3% and 90.6%.
On cancer waiting times Scotland is performing 7.4% and 4% better.
Remember in a Scottish context, that means around 300 cancer patients per quarter seen on time and in England, around 3 000 not.

BREAKING NEWS THAT VERY LIKELY YOU WILL NOT SEE OR HEAR ON BBC REPORTING SCOTLAND.
John I’m sure you will want to cover this issue again but off topic I note on Youtube just now the Labour Government along with all the other promises they made to protect the vulnerable have refused to pay compensation to the WASPI. Utter disgrace but of course they have suggested the Scottish Government step in and pay it so you can only guess what the headline on BBC Rep Scot might be tonight along these lines… ‘The SNP refuse to step in and help WASPI women after huge increase in Block Grant from the UK Labour Government
