Health chiefs in Forth Valley have hit back at a MSP’s warning of a “ticking timebomb” of cancer cases due to treatment time delays.
The warning was issued by Mid Scotland and Fife Tory MSP Alexander Stewart following the publication of Public Health Scotland outlining cancer waiting times across Scotland for the three months up to the end of 2021.
The figures reveal that 78.2 per cent of people were treated within the 62 day guideline set out by the Scottish Government for the wait between urgent suspicion of cancer referral to commencing their treatment.
