Blood Cancer: Diagnosis
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish statistics for the time for blood cancer to be diagnosed.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
NHS England has recently started publishing information on Faster Diagnosis Standard Activity and Performance by End Reason and Suspected Tumour. This data includes suspected haematological malignancies excluding acute leukaemia. A table showing the percentage of suspected haematological malignancies excluding acute leukaemia that are either diagnosed or that have cancer ruled out within the standard diagnosis time is attached.
