The number of people waiting to start NHS treatment in Wales has risen by more than 10,000 to nearly 407,000.
Statistics Wales figures show 8,900 patients were waiting more than the recommended maximum 36 weeks at the end of May, an increase of 1,300.
Conservatives said the "huge spike" was due to an NHS "scramble" to break even by April, the financial year end.
The Welsh government blamed "high seasonal pressures" early this year but said it expected figures to improve.
