New data shows the true scale of the waits patients are facing across different parts of Wales in the Welsh NHS.
A recent WalesOnline investigation showed the catastrophe of waiting lists. Figures showing there are more than 60,000 cases in which people are waiting more than two years for treatment whereas in England there are now fewer that 200 open waits for treatment. You can read the special report here.
WalesOnline has now gone through the data broken down by health board to demonstrate what the situation is across Wales. It is important to bear in mind that this data is broken down by the health board providing the treatment, not the health board area that the person in question lives in. Powys for example has no waits but doesn't conduct many types of procedure. There are almost 2,000 Powys HB area residents waiting over two years.
