More than 150,000 people are on the waiting lists for appointments at a collection of Greater Manchester's hospitals.
Some 12,724 people have been waiting more than a year for their appointment at hospitals within Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, and 1,730 people have been waiting longer than two years at the end of November 2021, according to the latest figures released by the NHS.
The data comes as waiting lists have also been building for surgeries, after Greater Manchester health leaders announced that the majority of surgeries - apart from those most urgent and cancer operations - were to be paused at the beginning of January.
