Details
The cancer services profiles have been updated to split the existing indicator ‘Females, 25 to 64, attending cervical screening within target period (3.5 or 5.5 year coverage, %)’ by age group (25 to 49 and 50 to 64), creating 2 new and distinct indicators. All other indicators for the cancer services profile were released on 1 December 2020.
These profiles present data at GP, Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and national level on:
- cancer incidence and screening
- Two Week Wait (TWW) referrals
- diagnostic services
- emergency presentations and admissions
The cancer services profiles have been designed to support commissioners and health professionals to assess the impact of cancer on their local population and make decisions about services.
These profiles replace the GP cancer profiles that were previously presented in the Cancer Commissioning Toolkit.
