The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on cancer diagnosis wait times in South Holland and the Deepings in the last five years.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The Department does not hold this data, although published data from NHS England is available from 2022 for the cancer waiting time standards, at the following link:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/cancer-waiting-times/

Cancer waiting times data can be broken down by integrated care board or National Health Service trust, however, this data is not available by constituency. The local NHS trusts for the South Holland and the Deepings constituency are North West Anglia, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn, and United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals.
