"It is dismaying - for patients and for staff" - @CancerFocusNI reacts as it is revealed targets for cancer waiting times have again been missed
Targets for cancer waiting times have again been missed here, that's according to the latest figures from the Department of Health released yesterday. They show that in September 2018 nearly 40% of patients with an urgent referral had to wait more than 62 days for first treatment. The ministerial target is for 95% of those referrals to be seen within 2 months all HSC Trusts failed to meet this target. Vinny spoke to Roisin Foster Chief Executive of Cancer Focus NI.
