Lodged by Margaret Mitchell Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates NHS Lanarkshire on, it understands, being one of the best performing boards in Scotland for cancer treatment waiting times; considers that NHS Lanarkshire consistently exceeds national waiting times standards; notes that the standards are that 95% of all patients will wait no more than 31 days from decision to treat to first cancer treatment, and that 95% of patients urgently referred with a suspicion of cancer will wait a maximum of 62 days from referral to first cancer treatment; understands that, for the 31-day standard, NHS Lanarkshire achieved 99.2%, and, for the 62-day standard, it achieved 95.7%; further understands that, while nine NHS boards met the 31-day standard, only one other board met the 62-day standard; considers that this is a great achievement for NHS Lanarkshire, and commends all its hardworking staff.
