UNACCEPTABLE

CANCER patients face "completely unacceptable" waiting times for treatment as the SNP government continues to miss its targets.

About 1200 patients on an urgent referral for a suspicion of cancer did not start treatment within 62 days, quarterly figures out today show.

The Scottish Government target is for 95 per cent of patients to begin treatment in that timeframe. Between July and September, that figure dropped to just 28 per cent.

Just one health board across Scotland hit the target - NHS Lanarkshire while 13 others missed it.
