Hospitals cancelling urgent surgery despite NHS bosses' orders Exclusive: shortage of intensive care beds in England leading to operations being postponed
Hospitals have been cancelling urgent surgery for patients with cancer, heart disease and other life-threatening illnesses, despite NHS bosses’ orders not to delay such operations.
Some patients have had their procedure cancelled several times, even though their poor health means the surgery is urgent. Others have had operations cancelled on the day they were scheduled to take place. The Guardian
