Note that patients admitted under a different specialty are not included above. These figures represent patients who have commenced systemic anti-cancer therapy but would exclude some of those receiving oral chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. During the pandemic, systemic anti-cancer therapies continued as per normal throughout the pandemic period however, telephone consultations commenced for some patients and oral chemotherapies were posted to the patients. This group of patients are not included in the above figures as they were not admitted as inpatients.
