<p>The NHS Long Term Plan published in January 2019 sets out the Government’s ambitions
to see 55,000 more people surviving cancer for five years in England each year from
2028 and three quarters of all cancers detected at an early stage by 2028. To achieve
these targets, we will need to make significant progress on survival across all cancers,
including cervical cancer.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England will shortly be introducing a
Faster Diagnostic Standard of 28 days for all cancer patients which, when taken together
with the 62-day referral to treatment standard, will mean that all patients should
expect to start their treatment within 34 days of diagnosis. This is a maximum, and
trusts should continue to treat patients more quickly particularly where there is
a strong clinical need.</p>
