About 7,000 residents are expected to face a 12-month or longer wait for non-urgent procedures, including surgery.

Dr Andrew Lee, from Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group, told a council meeting: “The proportion of patients who have got to wait longer – and I’m talking about a year or more – has gone up.

“In the city we are forecasting by March next year the 'long waiters' to be probably close to 7,000.”

“The hospital's gone through the backlog of all referrals and prioritised the high-risk people and unfortunately for those whose conditions were not seen to be life-threatening, they were put on a lower priority list," he added.

A spokesperson from York Hospital said: “We're working hard to reschedule appointments and operations as soon as possible.

"However, the impact of coronavirus means that for many of our patients there will be a delay, and waiting times will be longer than we would normally expect."
