The data presented here are for planned surgery, defined as surgery that can be scheduled by placing the patient on a waiting list. The surgeries included are for the treatment of malignant bowel, breast and lung cancer; these cancers have the ability to progress to more serious disease and spread to surrounding tissue or other organs, if left untreated.
In 2012–13, there were 10–30 patients admitted for surgery for malignant bowel cancer at this hospital. Half of these patients received their surgery within 12 days (median waiting time), compared to this hospital's national peer performance of 12 days.
