The most recent figures I have are to the end of August. These figures are collated from Hospital In-Patient Enquiry, HIPE, data, which takes a number of weeks to collect. The number of cancer surgeries performed in the public hospitals in the year to date in 2020 is 7,287 compared to 10,158 year to date in 2019. That equates to approximately 72%.
