The health minister Lord Warner yesterday claimed the government was on course to meet its target of no patient in England waiting over six months for hospital treatment, The Guardian has reported.
Figures showed that at the end of November there were 12,300 people waiting more than six months for treatment, a drop of 12,600 from the previous month and down by 49,800 on November last year.
The total waiting list for treatment now stands at 774,300. Yesterday's figures showed that at the end of November there were 22 patients waiting over nine months for treatment, with four waiting over a year.
