Hospitals ordered to stop vast majority of operations in crisis move Hospitals have been ordered to stop carrying out the vast majority of operations in a desperate bid to attempt to fend off a growing NHS crisis.

Health regulators have stepped in to order the extreme measures amid rising panic about how services will cope with mounting strain.

In an average month, the health service carries out about 600,000 planned operations, as well as urgent procedures.

Now hospitals have been told to stop carrying out most planned surgery, to focus on treating emergency cases. The Daily Telegraph
