More than 320,000 patients received potentially lifesaving treatment from November 2021 to October 2022 - the highest year on record, and up by over 8,000 in the same period pre-pandemic.

There was also the highest number of cancer checks, with more than 2.8 million people seen, over 10,000 checked everyday and around 6 percent resulting in cancer diagnosis.
