DHSC cancelled ops halved after pandemic

The number of cancelled operations on the Island halved after Covid, it's been revealed.

Onchan MHK Julie Edge asked for details about cancelled ops in a question for written reply to Health Minister Lawrie Hooper.

He revealed 161 were cancelled in 2021, with 85 cancellations because of the pandemic - and that figure dropped to 82 last year.

A total of 32 were called off because of staff shortages last year, with another eight cancelled because of a lack of beds.
