INCREASE IN PROSTATE CANCER REFERRALS
DERRIFORD Hospital saw a 55% increase in prostate referrals following the cancer diagnosis of former Olympian Sir Chris Hoy.
There is currently a backlog of patients waiting for treatment following an increase in referrals, and actions to provide more capacity are underway, a performance report presented to University Hospitals Plymouth (UHP) NHS Trust Board said.
The NHS dictates there should be no more than 62 days between the date the hospital receives an urgent suspected cancer referral and the start of treatment. Trusts are expected to meet this standard in 85% of cases.
