Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the average time from first appointment to diagnosis for cancer patients.

Answer:

In the most recently published month (August 2020), provisional figures indicate that the average waiting time from first appointment to diagnosis for patients with an urgent GP referral for suspect cancer was 26 days for patients who began treatment in August 2020. This information is not available for patients referred via other routes.
