NHS crisis: Record 4.23million people are on the waiting list for routine ops The NHS waiting list is longer than it has ever been and April was the busiest month on record for A&E departments, figures revealed today.
A total of 4.23 million people in England were waiting for routine hospital treatment in March, a rise of 90,000 on the previous month.
The number shows 10 per cent more people were waiting than at the same time last year, which experts have branded a 'failure' of the NHS.
A&Es in English hospitals had to deal with a staggering 70,403 visits on an average day in April – the most ever. The Daily Mail
