This was a drop of 50,000 from March  but is still 240 times higher than the 1,613 who were forced to wait that long before the first wave hit. Thursdays figures show that 385,490 people have now been waiting more than 52 weeks, 50,637 down on the 436,127 in that position last month. The total is a significant rise on the 4.95 million who were on the waiting list in March, which in turn saw an increase of 252,000 (5.4%) on the 4.7 million recorded in February. The northwest of the area experienced the biggest fall in admissions, with around 467,000 operations being postponed or cancelled. In that area alone, there were 309,000 fewer admissions.
None of those who waited over a total of 52 weeks before the first round hit have failed to show up for work.
