Cancer treated within 62 days at the nearest major hospital, every council ranked
The share of cancer patients treated within 62 days of an urgent referral at the trust running the major hospital nearest to where people here live. It is the trust’s figure, not one for the council. A few hundred patients a quarter, so a few points either way is noise. Figures for May 2026 to July 2026, published for 296 councils in England. Lowest first: the order says where a council sits, not whether that is good.
Joint lowest: 5 councils, 50.9%. The council in the middle: Sevenoaks, 70.1%. Highest: Calderdale, 87.4%.
