Conclusion
Notwithstanding the lag on published data, on the basis of evidence supplied by the Government and the NHS, and Cancer Research UK’s analysis, we do not believe that the NHS is on track to meet the 75% early diagnosis ambition set by the Government. It is clear that there is good work underway to improve early diagnosis, which is welcome, but wholesale improvement is required if the 75% target is to be met. The stated focus on early diagnosis for the Secretary of State’s forthcoming cancer plan is therefore welcome.
