The focus of our work

The focus of much of our work is to ensure that there is equitable access to cancer treatment for all residents in Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Our teams work tirelessly to make sure that people with a diagnosis of cancer are treated in order of clinical prioirity (in other words the most serious cases are treated first).

This sometimes means that we will ask patients to travel to different hospitals or clinics than they would have done previously. We have also asked clinical teams to move around the system to make sure that we take a very fair and consistent approach to waiting times.

Looking ahead

Going forward, our aim is to ensure that there is no unwarranted variation in both access times and outcomes for people receiving treatment for cancer. We look at multiple data sources and evidence to measure the quality of treatment.

Some examples of this are:
