Increase of almost 20% since start of coronavirus outbreak
The number of people waiting more than a year for medical treatment has grown by almost a fifth since the start of the coronavirus outbreak.
A total of 2,093 people on inpatient and outpatient waiting lists had been waiting in excess of 12 months to see a doctor in March, which has risen by more than 400 since lockdown began.
Almost a third of those waiting for outpatient treatment have been waiting in excess of 12 months, while almost 550 have been waiting more than two years.
Health Minister David Ashford hopes UK hospitals will be able to help reduce the wait:
