Cancer Waiting Times<\/h2>\n

The two-week wait standard has been removed and instead, patients can be told to expect a cancer diagnosis or rule-out of cancer within 28 days of being referred from their GP or cancer screening programme.<\/p>\n

This is an improvement on the previous standard, in which patients were told they will see a specialist within 14 days, with no measurement of when test results or diagnoses\u00a0would\u00a0 be communicated.<\/p>\n

It is important to attend the first appointment they are given (which may be for an investigation or via telephone).<\/p>\n
