NHS bosses warn it could be the heath service's 'busiest summer', but there is some hope - as waiting lists overall have fallen on last year in the region
Nearly half a million people are still waiting for treatment, almost 30,000 of them for over a year..
More than four out of every 10 of patients going to major “type 1” accident and emergency wards in Greater Manchester during July faced waits of over four hours between arrival and either admission, transfer or discharge. NHS bosses have warned that this could be the busiest summer on record for the heath service. Professor Sir Stephen Powis, NHS National Medical Director said: “A&E staff are under significant pressure and the NHS is in the middle of what could be its busiest summer ever, with a total of 4.6 million attendances in the last two months alone and 2024 now having seen the three busiest months for A&E on record.
Waiting lists were on the rise again in June across the country, as the latest data reveals the state of the NHS inherited by the new government. There were a total of 7.62 million people on the NHS’ waiting lists in England in June.
