How to read these chartsEach measure uses its own NHS England standard

Against the national standards

Each measure is drawn against its own NHS England standard: 95% for A&E within four hours, 85% for urgent cancer treatment within sixty-two days and 99% for diagnostic tests within six weeks. The charts do not share a standard and the three cancer measures are never added together.

Care Quality Commission

What CQC currently says

CQC has not given Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust an overall rating. Under its single assessment framework it rates services and key questions rather than awarding one judgement for the whole body, so these are what it currently publishes. They are separate judgements and CQC does not add them together.

Most recent judgement 22 October 2025.

NHS England publishes none of these six measures against this body

That is what we would expect of a body that commissions rather than treats, of a mental health or community trust with no accident and emergency department, and of any body outside England: all six are England-only and are published against the provider that delivers the service. It is not a figure we have failed to collect.

A&E Wait Times: 95% standard
Waiting times (RTT): 92% standard
Diagnostic tests (DM01): 99% standard
Cancer diagnosis (FDS): 75% standard
Cancer (31-day): 96% standard
Cancer (62-day): 85% standard
