Hospitals say there is 'little room to breathe' as emergency units have their busiest month.
Hospital waiting lists have risen again in Wales, although A&E waiting times improved despite record numbers turning up at emergency units.
Some patients are on more than one waiting list, so it it estimated that about 584,000 people are on waiting lists, a rise of 1,600 and a third successive increase after a fall in the previous five months. Welsh Conservatives said these two-year hospital waiting times were not falling fast enough and it could take another five years to eliminate the backlog at the current rate.
There were still 52,409 patients waiting more than a year for an outpatient appointment, a monthly drop of 422. However he said without changes in improving public health and funding "we cannot expect these exceptional levels of demand to fall". The average response time was seven minutes 16 seconds, nine seconds quicker than May and 39 seconds quicker than a year ago.This is time spent above 15 minutes, when ambulances wait to hand over patients at major emergency units.
