The NHS crisis shows no signs of improving, as non-urgent operations are to be pushed back until the end of January.

Winter pressure of the NHS has meant that services have been severely stretched. The NHS needs to focus on emergency care, and has no option but to delay non-urgent care.

The winter period is always tough for the NHS, with the numbers of people with Flu related illnesses, adding to the, already huge, patient numbers.

Many people will be put at potential risk, as their surgery is delayed and must be re-arranged for another time.

One example is the Royal Cornwall Hospital Treliske whose A & E department was at “breaking point,” over xmas.

It remains on level four alert, previously known as ‘black alert’, a status it was given just before Christmas.

Milton Keynes University Hospital is telling people only to attend for emergency treatment.

However, Director of acute care Professor Keith Willett said that the delay of non-urgent operations was not a crisis. Willett said: “With the incidents of flu rising in the community and in our hospitals, and the pressures that we always see in the first few weeks of January… that it’s important we give the hospitals time and space to manage the demand that we anticipate will come through.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
