based on the UK experience
* Cancer waiting times have risen. The target for people to be treated within two months of an urgent GP referral has not been met consistently since 2013
* The waiting list for hospital treatment has risen by 40% over five years.
* The waiting time measure for consultant-led treatment is now at 23.7 weeks, and has been above the 18-week target since early 2016.
* In 2018/19, 18.5% of people attending hospital A&E spent longer than 4 hours in the department, compared with 6.5% five years ago
