NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde cancels non-urgent operations due to 'major pressures'
Scotland's largest health board has announced it is suspending non-urgent procedures as it prioritises urgent treatment and cancer care. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde released a statement on Wednesday, January 11, stating that elective surgeries will be paused due to the 'major pressures' that the health board is facing.
It comes a day after Health Secretary Humza Yousaf announced extra social care funding in a desperate bid to free up hospital beds. Yousaf claimed 300 care beds would be purchased to address the “unprecedented” crisis afflicting the health service. "To support our A&E departments, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has taken the decision to pause non-urgent elective procedures to prioritise urgent treatment and cancer care. This decision was not taken lightly and is under constant review.
