  6. Yorkshire hospital trusts fail cancer treatment wait timespublished at 09:58 British Summer Time 13 June 2019

    Two Yorkshire hospital trusts are among the 10 worst in England for the time it takes to start cancer treatment.

    Hulland Bradford hospitals

    The Hull and East Yorkshire and Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trusts have failed to treat many cancer patients quickly enough.

    Hospitals are meant to start treatment within 62 days of an urgent referral by a GP in 85% of cases, but both hospitals treated fewer than 75% in that time frame last year.

    In the research conducted by the BBC, Bradford came 5th in the list of the 10 longest waits for treatment and Hull and East Yorkshire came 8th.

    Overall, across England, more than 32,000 patients waited longer than 62 days for treatment to start.

    NHS England says that with increasing demand hospitals are doing well to treat as many patients as they do.

    Morrisons agreed to supply Amazon with groceries in 2016 and the service now includes delivery within the hour for some customers.

    So far customers in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and some parts of London can use the same-day service.

    But now Sheffield, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool and Portsmouth will be added to that list.

    More cities will be added in "future years," the two companies said.

    The supermarket supplies products for the Amazon Prime Now and Amazon Pantry services.

    Amazon Pantry was launched in the UK in 2015, escalating competition with the big four supermarkets, but did not offer fresh food.

    Morrisons supplies Amazon with fresh, frozen and non-perishable goods to Amazon customers.

    Ocado has a 25-year agreement with Morrisons to run the supermarket's online delivery service.
