Patients without surgeries; Executive Director of the SNS refuses to change rules
Hundreds of orthopedic surgeries and ophthalmology treatments are being canceled due to a protest by doctors against new pay rates for overtime. The executive director of the National Health Service (SNS) has stated he will not change the new regulations despite the impact on patient care.
Why it mattersIf you are scheduled for an orthopedic surgery or ophthalmology treatment, there is a high risk of cancellation or delay; check with your hospital or health center immediately to confirm if your procedure is affected.
