What the average waiting time for a breast cancer radiography test is in each NHS board.

There is no centrally held information on average waiting times for breast cancer radiography.
The Scottish Government has set two standards for patients diagnosed with cancer. The first is that patients who have been urgently referred with a suspicion of cancer or are referred from one of the national cancer screening programmes, should begin treatment within 62 days. The second standard is that all patients diagnosed with cancer, irrespective of the route of referral, should begin treatment within 31 days from the date that the decision to treat was agreed with the patient.
These standards apply to first treatments, helping to speed up the diagnostic pathway and reducing the period of uncertainty that can exist whilst trying to establish a diagnosis. While there is no centrally held information on average waiting times for breast cancer radiography these standards provide assurance to patients that the immediate cancer control measures are being started as soon as possible.
Between July to September 2015 (quarter 3 2015) 97.3 per cent of patients referred urgently with a suspicion of breast cancer had their first treatment within 62 days. In addition 96.3 per cent of all breast cancer patients received their first treatment within 31 days of a decision to treat.
