The deadline for targets to start treatment for cancer within 31 days of a decision to treat, and 62 days of an urgent GP referral is at the end of the year. The health secretary is concerned over lack of progress towards the targets. Problems hampering progress include data collection issues and overly complicated waiting lists. Whittington Hospital and University of Leicester Hospitals trusts have made marked progress by redesigning the care pathway.
在决定治疗后的31天内开始癌症治疗，以及在紧急情况下由全科医生转诊后的62天内开始治疗的目标截止日期为本年度末。卫生部长对在实现这些目标方面缺乏进展感到担忧。阻碍进展的问题包括数据收集问题和过于复杂的候诊名单。惠廷顿医院和莱斯特大学医院信托基金通过重新设计护理路径取得了显著进展。
