I belong to a several forums where people are waiting for major surgery, life changing surgery which is unfortunately designated as Elective. Along with many other people waiting for many other forms of elective surgery my friend's surgeries where put on hold because of lack of beds, resourses and staff due to the concentrated efforts needed to cope with hospitalisation of Covid-19 patients. These people in my area have been waiting for their operations since March and have been informed that it will be at least next Spring before their surgeons lists will be re-opened as beds have to be kept free for emergency cases.
Our Nightingale in Manchester is now being prepared and hopefully if this is used as more than just an overflow area it may allow some of the routine operations to go ahead.
