More patients at Manchester's hospitals faced long waits for A&E and ambulance services in July than any other month on record, new figures show.

Last month in Greater Manchester, almost 1,751 people endured more than 12 hours of waiting in A&E for a bed on a ward, after medics decided they were unwell enough to be admitted to hospital.

That figure comes as a stark difference from just 158 patients facing this wait in July 2021, according to data published by NHS England.
