Number of patients waiting for 12 hours in A&E rises above 60,000 for the first time in January .
Waits of this length, usually indicative of a lack of available beds in the hospital, were almost non-existent before the pandemic.
Overall waiting times slightly improved on December and last January , with 71.1% of patients being admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours .
That's still well below the NHS target of 95% .
