Nearly all NHS trusts are struggling to hit cancer targets - use our tool to check yours

Almost all NHS trusts in England are failing to meet the crucial 62-day cancer care target, with just three out of 121 trusts doing so. Delays in treatment could be jeopardizing patients' lives, with each four-week delay reducing survival rates by 10%. Hospitals are struggling to keep up with demand, leading to issues like machine breakdowns and lost referral letters. The government acknowledges the long waits and plans to invest in the NHS to improve performance, but challenges remain in addressing the systemic issues contributing to the delays.
