Such information as is available is in the attached tables.

All patients with cancer should have high quality, compassionate care, and we expect every part of the National Health Service to deliver against national standards. We expect the NHS to look urgently at any dips in local performance and take action to make sure all patients get access to cancer treatment as quickly as possible. NHS England has set up a taskforce to look at a long term strategy for improving cancer care.
