Great to see our census data quoted in @MailOnline's piece on cancer time targets.
More radiologists and clinical oncologists are needed to keep up with demand. Most consultants who left the workforce last year were under 60, with many suffering burnout.

To clear the 6 week wait for CT and MRI scans in one month, we would need to hire 381 additional radiology consultants overnight.
We must do more to retain doctors and make the most out of the capacity we have.

“It's disheartening that this month we’re seeing continued underperformance against important NHS targets.
This is not a new issue: the main targets for diagnostics and cancer have been missed since 2013 and 2014 respectively.”

Our 2022 censuses show the scale of workforce shortages in diagnostic and cancer departments and the devastating impact on cancer patients.
Action from the Government is critical. We must train more doctors and do more to retain the ones we have.
