NGH cancels planned operations after admitting 770 poorly patients to beds over festive period Bosses at Northampton General Hospital have said they are currently under considerable emergency pressure and have apologised to those who had their operations cancelled today.
A large number of patients requiring emergency care have built up pressure on wards and A&E departments over the Christmas and New Year period - which means both hospitals are concentrating their efforts on emergency care.
As a result, NGH has had to cancel many planned operations and routine outpatient clinics to ensure there are enough beds for emergency patients.
The hospital is contacting all of the affected patients and sincerely apologised for the inconvenience. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
