Cancer waiting times
Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust. Official NHS England figures for August 2026.
August 2026
Waiting for a diagnosis or treatment, or been through it? Log your wait
- About 24 of 119 patients who started treatment that month had waited longer than 62 days since their urgent referral
- About 5 of them had waited longer than 104 days
Each figure counts patients whose wait ended in that month. A patient treated by two trusts counts as half for each, so some numbers are not whole. The latest months are provisional and may be revised by NHS England.

The scale starts at 60%, not 0, so that changes can be seen. They look bigger than they would on a full scale.

Red: worse than England. Amber: better than England, but misses the national standard. Green: better than England and meets the standard. Black: about the same as England.
Each figure is compared with England for the same month. National standards: 75% told within 28 days, 96% treated within 31 days of the decision to treat, 85% treated within 62 days of an urgent referral.
Treated within 62 days, by type of cancer
| Type of cancer | Patients | Within 62 days | England |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin | 48 | 92% | 87% |
Red: worse than England. Amber: better than England, but misses the national standard. Green: better than England and meets the standard. Black: about the same as England. The standard is 85%.
Types with fewer than 20 patients in the month are left out, because one or two patients would swing the percentage. Some cancers need more tests before treatment can safely start, so types are not directly comparable with each other.
What isn't published
These figures stop when treatment starts. Nothing is published about treatment sessions that are cancelled or cut short on the day, or about how long patients wait for each session once treatment is under way.
