Description: Provides tools for importing, harmonising, cleaning,
        analysing, benchmarking and visualising National Health Service
        (NHS) England Cancer Waiting Times data. The package supports
        national performance monitoring, provider-level benchmarking
        and cancer pathway comparisons through key performance
        indicator summaries, provider filtering, clustering analyses,
        mixed-effects regression models, variance decomposition,
        intraclass correlation coefficient estimation, adjusted
        provider performance estimation and sensitivity analyses.
        Functions are included for exploratory analysis,
        publication-ready visualisations and spreadsheet exports,
        supporting reproducible health services research, cancer
        services evaluation, quality improvement and assessment of
        waiting-time performance across healthcare organisations.
        Mixed-effects modelling functionality is based on Bates et al.
        (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i01>. Multilevel modelling
        concepts and variance decomposition follow Gelman and Hill
        (2007, ISBN:9780521686891). Cancer Waiting Times definitions
        and reporting standards follow NHS England
