NHS waiting times in Wales: Two years of growth and new record
The latest NHS performance figures published on Thursday also showed a 24th successive month of rising waiting lists.
There were 240 people waiting more than two years in February 2020 but that rose to a peak of 70,417 in March 2022. That's now dropped by 2,385 to 68,032 in April.The numbers waiting longer than 36 weeks reached the highest on record - at just over a quarter of a million . Average daily attendances at A&E during May showed a rise - 250 more attendances a day than the previous month.While the total number of calls to the ambulance service fell, they took a higher number than usual of life-threatening calls.
Richard Pugh, head of partnerships at the charity, said: "These delays mean they and their loved ones faced distressing and worrying delays, which could impact on the success of their treatment."
