Data and methodology

Figures for NHS North East London ICB are aggregated from the real per-sub-location count rows in NHS England's April 2026 Cancer Waiting Times ICB Sub-Location extract. Each sub-location code (e.g. multiple [ICB sub-location codes, NHS ODS]) is mapped to its parent ICB via the NHS Organisation Data Service and summed for both the 62-day Combined and 28-day FDS standards. Percentages are re-derived from summed numerators and denominators — not averaged. The Gera Cancer Pathway Pressure Index = (1 − 62-day met rate) × referral volume, normalised 0–100. No estimates or invented numbers. See full methodology.
