O p e ra t io n s s c a n d a l —M P THE rise in the number


of patients having oper­ ations cancelled at the


last minute has been branded "appalling" by Ribble Valley MP Nigel


Evans. He was angry after


receiving figures from the local health authori­ ties, which showed only 52 cancellations for non- clinical reasons in


1997/1998 when the Government first came to power hut 200 for 2001/2002. Said Mr Evans, who


has written to health authorities demanding action: "I am shocked and appalled by the number of cancelled operations. The Govern­ ment and health trusts


across Lancashire must work hand-in-hand to ensure a better service for the county’s people. There can be few


things more distressing for patients than a last- minute cancelled opera­ tion and this increase is a shocking statistic that must be remedied as soon as possible."
