Set a legal limit: anyone referred with suspected cancer should be told within 28 days whether they have it. Publish how every hospital performs each month.
England's Faster Diagnosis Standard requires that 75% of patients referred urgently are told they have cancer or do not within 28 days, with monthly public reporting by trust. Whatever the debate on the threshold, the combination of a defined interval, a named responsible organisation, and public data has focused management attention on diagnostic pathways. Most countries have no equivalent. The proposal is to adopt and adapt it, with the threshold set by local capacity and tightened over time.
