Cancer: Medical Treatments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of cancer patients receive treatment within 62 days in (a) England and (b) Maldon constituency.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The latest data for England shows that 67.1% of people started treatment within 62 days of referral. Data on the 62 day referral to treatment cancer waiting time standard is available by integrated care board (ICB) area, but not by constituency. The Maldon constituency falls within the Mid and South Essex ICB, and therefore the following table shows the proportion of cancer patients who receive treatment within 62 days in June 2024 and June 2025, and the change over this 12 month period, for both England and the Mid and South Essex ICB:
Cancer | 62 day standard (85% standard) | |
June 2025 | National | 67.1% |
ICB | 43.5% | |
June 2024 | National | 67.9% |
ICB | 47.8% | |
12-month change | National | -0.8% |
ICB | -4.3% | |
