NHS performance tracker The waiting list to start elective (planned) care continues to rise, now numbering almost 7.47 million.
There has been a lack of progress on reducing year-long waiters, with the number of people waiting over 52 weeks to start elective care growing from 371,000 in April 2023 to 385,000 in May.
In May, 41% of patients who had their first treatment for cancer following an urgent GP referral waited longer than two months, the third-worst performance on record.
In June 2023, 27% of people attending A&E spent more than four hours from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge, signifying minimal progress since the start of the year. Quality Watch
