"Experts Question Accuracy of Reported Increase in NHS Cancer Screenings"

NHS England's report of a record number of cancer checks in 2022 has been criticized by experts as misleading, pointing out that the health service is still failing to meet key cancer targets. Despite the reported increase in checks, the proportion of patients receiving timely treatment after urgent referrals is below the set targets, and the number of patients diagnosed or ruled out for cancer within 28 days is declining. Experts argue that the UK's cancer survival rates are among the worst in the Western world and call for a significant investment in treatment capacity and a dedicated cancer plan. In response, NHS England acknowledges the need to focus on the 62-day target for urgent cancer referrals, while the UK health minister highlights government efforts to improve cancer survival rates and screening. The Liberal Democrats propose a new legal right for patients to see a GP within seven days to address delays in accessing primary care.
