Record number of children's operations cancelled last year Paediatric professional bodies express ‘deep concern’ over new figures obtained by Labour. A record number of 18,647 emergency and non-emergency children’s operations were cancelled last year, according to new figures which Labour described as a “shameful” indictment of the government’s handling of healthcare.
Over the last eight years 117,936 children’s operations were cancelled, according to data obtained by the party from NHS trusts under the Freedom of Information Act. Guardian
