NHS Wales cancer pathways (Single Cancer Pathway)
Published by StatsWales (Welsh Government) · Official source
Update schedule
- Monthly (published roughly one to two months after the period).
Level of detail
- NHS health board (Local Health Board)
What we show
- Patients starting their first cancer treatment per board (all tumour sites, all ages, both sexes combined)
- The number starting treatment within 62 days of first being suspected of cancer (no-suspensions basis)
- The share starting within 62 days — Wales's Single Cancer Pathway standard is 75%
Caveats
- Wales runs its NHS separately from England and Scotland, and measures cancer waits on its Single Cancer Pathway (SCP) with a 75% within-62-days target — a different basis from England's 62-day standard and Scotland's 62-day standard (both use a 95% target with different qualifying rules), so these figures are NOT comparable across nations and are never ranked together.
- Figures are on the 'no suspensions' basis (excludes pathways where the clock was paused, e.g. for patient unavailability), matching StatsWales's own headline measure.
- Reported per health board, not per hospital — Wales does not publish this dataset at hospital level.
- Shown for all tumour sites combined, not broken down by cancer type.
