We're proud to share that RNOH has achieved outstanding performance against all three NHS cancer waiting time standards (June 2026).
✅ Faster Diagnosis Standard: 85.9% of patients received a diagnosis, or had cancer ruled out, within 28 days of referral (national standard: 75%)
✅ 31-Day Treatment Standard: 100% of patients started treatment within 31 days of a decision to treat (national standard: 96%)
✅ 62-Day Treatment Standard: 92.3% of patients started treatment within 62 days of referral (national standard: 85%)
These results reflect the dedication, expertise and teamwork of colleagues across RNOH who are committed to delivering timely, high-quality care for every patient.
Behind every percentage is a person receiving answers sooner, starting treatment faster and benefiting from the best possible experience during a challenging time.
Thank you to all our teams for making these exceptional results possible
