Almost half of cancer patients are still waiting too long for further investigations into possible cancer at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as the NHS struggles to restore pre-Covid services.
In August 2022, just 53.2% of patients at the trust began their treatment within two months of being referred to the hospital by their GP, according to figures from NHS England.
Targets say that trusts should aim to see 85.0% of patients within 62 days between the date the hospital receives an urgent referral for suspected cancer and the start of treatment.
