The report, by the cross-party Public Accounts Committee, warns that NHS England is set to miss its target to reduce the number of people waiting more than 62 days for their first cancer treatment following an urgent GP referral to pre-COVID levels.
The committee also described NHS England's route to increasing elective care activity to 129% of pre-pandemic levels by 2024/25 as"unachievable".
It described the situation with cancer wait times in particular as"unacceptable" and called on the government and NHS England to do"whatever is required" to bring levels back to an acceptable standard. "On the evidence we have received the NHS will not achieve the targets in its recovery plan, and that means health, longevity and quality of life indicators will continue to go backwards for the people of this country.However, NHS bosses say the report"fails to acknowledge the significant progress made by NHS staff" on the plan -agreed with the government - despite"record pressures seen across the health and care system".
NHS England targets are that 85% of people who have been urgently referred by their GP and have cancer confirmed should start treatment within 62 days.More than 8,000 people, around 11% of patients, waited more than 104 days between their urgent referral and first treatment.
