NHS performance tracker The waiting list to start elective (planned) care has risen further, now exceeding 7.57 million.
Despite the target to have no more people waiting over 65 weeks to start elective treatment by March 2024, the number of people waiting this long is over 97,000.
In June, 41% of patients who had their first treatment for cancer following an urgent GP referral waited longer than two months, with a long-term trajectory of worsening performance.
Trolley waits (the time between a decision to admit a patient and them being admitted) of over 4 hours decreased from 114,000 in June 2023 to 110,000 in July 2023 – the best performance since September 2021. Nuffield Trust
