The number of people in England waiting for ear, nose or throat treatment has risen sharply during the pandemic, with more than 37,000 waiting more than a year, analysis shows, days after Boris Johnson had a sinus operation on the NHS.
In total, 510,000 people are waiting for ENT operations, procedures or medical consultations on the health service, compared with 312,000 in March 2020, according to the review of NHS figures carried out by the Nuffield Trust for the Guardian.
