The majority of pre-planned appointments and procedures are cancelled from Tuesday. LancsHospitals chief exec has been speaking ahead of the industrial action by junior doctors 🏥
The vast majority of pre-planned appointments and procedures at the Royal Preston and Chorley and South Ribble hospitals will be postponed to cope with strike action by junior doctors.Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust , which runs the two facilities, says that it will prioritise cancer patients and those people who have already been waiting a long time to be seen, in order to try to avoid any delays in the care of either of those two groups.
“We [will have to] stand down a lot of planned activity – that’s the majority of outpatients [and] day cases and some inpatient work. We are [protecting] A&E, acute medicine, neonatal [and] critical care – so the emergency flow won’t be compromised at all [and] the hospital will still be safe. He said that while efforts would be made to re-book postponed patients “as quickly as possible”, the volume of work that will be pulled means that it will take “quite a period to reinstate” – but the trust will reschedule appointments on the basis of “clinical need”.
Mr. McGee said: “Clearly, if you do, our emergency services will be there, but if there are other ways you could go, think about [NHS] 111, community pharmacists, GPs [and] self care. “My hope is that we’re allowed, before we get into the summer holiday period, [to] just focus on recovery. Because once the kids are [on holiday] and then you get back in September, it is basically into planning for winter then .
