6m people on hospital waiting lists in England The number of people on a hospital waiting list in England has hit 6 million for the first time, NHS data shows.

Around one in 20 of those have been waiting more than a year.

This figure is for the end of November and covers operations such as knee and hip surgery. That is before Omicron hit so it is likely these figures will have worsened. BBC News
