National performance
Cancer Alliances
The figures below are scatter plots of Cancer Alliances, by standard:
Y-axis - the percentage of patients within the standard in each alliance.
X-axis - the percentage of all breaches of the standard (nationally) that are in each alliance. This equals the number of breaches in that alliance divided by the number of breaches nationally. Values therefore reflect the number of patients in each alliance as well as the percentage within standard.
