The health board is facing a cancer diagnosis “ticking timebomb”.
Galloway and West Dumfries MSP Finlay Carson made the claim after it was revealed that a patient waited 262 days to begin treatment.
According to the latest information from Public Health Scotland, 76.3 per cent of patients across the country started treatment within the target time of 62 days compared to 79.2 per cent in Dumfries and Galloway. The Scottish Government say that figure should be 95 per cent.
