Health services across Ayrshire & Arran remain under extreme pressure, with thousands of patients still having to wait more than a YEAR for treatment.
The stark figures were revealed at the latest meeting of NHS Ayrshire & Arran's board.
Bosses said that cases of Covid-19 are in decline, with just 38 patients positive as of Tuesday, May 2. And the total number of patients waiting for a new outpatient appointment had fallen from a high of 45,156 last September to 43,479 in March, although there has been a slight increase between February and March.
