You asked

Are you able to tell me how many cancer screening appointments were cancelled since the announcement of the first lockdown?

Additionally, please can you tell me how many cancer diagnoses have been missed since the first lockdown?

We said

Thank you for your request.

ONS are responsible for the production of mortality and life event statistics for England and Wales. Unfortunately, we do not have access to hospital appointments and treatments.

Therefore, we do not hold the data you have requested.

This data is held by NHS Digital, so they may be better placed to answer your query. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk, and by telephone at 0300 303 5678.
