Request
“The longest period a person has had to wait to start cancer treatment in 2022/23 broken down by each type of cancer.In other words, for this year please reveal the longest wait on record there was for an individual to start treatment for each particular type of cancer. I am seeking the number of days each individual waited.
For example, ‘the person who waited the longest to start treatment for x cancer in 2018/19 was x amount of days’
I understand this figure is given against the 31 and 62 day standard and adjusted and unadjusted amount of days.
Clarification: I realise Public Health Scotland already publishes so much on this topic, but I believe it usually shows collective trends or clusters of data rather than individual stats for people. For reference I have asked the same request for other years and Public Health Scotland was able to provide it to me (FOI 2023-001528) and it would be much appreciated if it was given in the same table format again.”
