The number of Victorians waiting for elective surgery has dropped to its lowest level record last month.

The state government has claimed this is attributed to the dedication of the health services staff, with the elective surgery waiting sitting at 36,096 patients.

The lowest number on record and that number dropping 28% on 5 years ago.

Health Minister Jim Hennessy stated the government multibillion-dollar investment towards hospital systems was evidently paying off.
