Don’t get cancer in Scotland:

CANCER patients are still waiting up to seven months for treatment.
Patients are supposed to be treated within 62 days of urgent referral.
But figures out yesterday showed only three areas in Scotland were meeting those targets every time.
In the worst cases, sufferers were kept hanging on for 220 days.
The figures, for the first three months of the year, show 85.4 per cent of patients across Scotland were seen within 62 days.
The target set two years ago is 95 per cent.
Yesterday’s figures were up six per cent on last year but down slightly on the previous quarter.
