The list of patients waiting for treatment in Wales rises for the fourth month in a row.
The waiting list for hospital treatment in Wales has reached another record high, with about a fifth of the Welsh population waiting to be seen.
This is the fourth month in a row where the list has grown, and the number of people waiting more than two years for treatment has increased for the second month in a row.In May there were 22,500 so-called incomplete patient pathways of 24 months or more, despite a plan by the Labour Welsh government plan to eliminate two-year waits by March 2023.
The situation in emergency care varied, with performance against a four-hour target wait in A&E worsening, but performance on 12-hour waits improving. Prof Jon Barry, director in Wales at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, said: “With the waiting list now at another record high, patients in Wales continue to be let down."We are concerned about the disruption this is causing to their lives and the risk that their condition may deteriorate while they wait."
