Around 15,000 operations are going to be cancelled by the NHS next week because of the national strike by nurses
Hospitals have been told to let patients know as soon as possible if their operation is being cancelled or postponed.
NHS England faces a waiting list of 7.2million people waiting for a procedure, including 400,000 of them who have already waited an entire year with health problems. To cope with the demand, the Prime Minister announced plans for the army to step in during his visit to an RAF base in Lincolnshire.Despite some anger from military leaders, Rishi Sunak said: “I had the opportunity to say thank you to some of our Armed Forces personnel because many of them are going to miss Christmas to help us deal with the disruption from strikes, whether that’s manning border posts or driving ambulances, we all owe them an enormous debt of gratitude.
