THE NHS faces a 'ticking timebomb' of patients who are not getting the help they need during the Covid-19 crisis, health leaders warned yesterday.

Latest figures show A&E visits plummeted by 57 percent in April compared with the same period last year, down 1.2 million to just 916,000 - the lowest monthly total on record. The number of people waiting over a year to start treatment almost doubled in March, as routine procedures were suspended to free up hospital beds. Overall, the number on waiting lists for elective treatment fell slightly to 4.2 million.
