The latest quarterly national statistics on NHS cancer waiting times produced by the Department of Health were released on 30 November 2012 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

In 2010, the United Kingdom Statistics Authority assessed and designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

We are improving the range of available cancer waiting times data to meet the statutory requirement to continue observing Code of Practice.
