But when ministers decided to cancel all non-urgent outpatients and appointments to focus on Covid cases in March 2020 these waiting lists increased substantially. The Welsh Government wants 95% of patients to wait less than six months (26 weeks) and no-one to wait nine months (36 weeks) from referral to treatment. The longest nine-month waits are for trauma and orthopaedic treatment (98,903), general surgery (89,256), ear, nose and throat (61,209) and urology (42,868). In comparison there were only 28,294 waiting this long in March 2020. More than a quarter of a million patient pathways (260,859) currently on an NHS Wales waiting list have been on it for nine months or more, up on the 258,189 recorded the month before.

As one patient may be on several "pathways" to treatment, the number of patients affected will be lower. In May there were 722,147 so-called "patient pathways" waiting for elective hospital treatment - an alarming rise of 15,000 from the 707,098 recorded in April and way up on the 456,809 seen just before the pandemic hit in March 2020. New Welsh Government data has revealed that the number of patients awaiting planned non-urgent care hit record levels for the 25th month in a row. Patients will continue to suffer on record-breaking NHS waiting lists unless more is done to separate planned and emergency care, experts have warned.
