Faster Cancer Treatment programme

The Ministry is working with the health sector to ensure patients have timely access to appointments, tests which detect cancer and cancer treatment. This work is being done by the Faster Cancer Treatment programme which aims to improve the quality and timeliness of services for patients along the cancer pathway. The Faster Cancer Treatment programme also links with other programmes of work that will improve cancer diagnostic and treatment services.
Significant progress has been made in improving access to cancer services, leading to better outcomes for patients and a better experience of care for patients and their families.
