NHS hospitals are still cancelling more than 22 THOUSAND appointments every day More than 22,000 hospital appointments are being cancelled every day — despite waiting lists for treatment standing at a record 6.8million, it emerged today.

The Government has pledged to tackle the NHS care backlog but some patients are continuing to see their appointments cancelled multiple times.

So far this year, the average number of cancellations each day was 20 per cent more than it was before the pandemic, when around 18,000 were axed every day. The Daily Mail
