Hospital bosses have been prioritising safe urgent and emergency care across periods of industrial action
The Chief Executive at Sherwood Forest Hospitals, which runs King’s Mill Hospital and Newark Hospital, has 'grave concerns' if NHS industrial action continues through the winter. Junior doctors and consultants staged a three-day joint walkout in England this week from October 2 to 4.
Paul Robinson, Chief Executive, said: “Christmas Day cover was maintained – but Christmas Day demands only happen on Christmas Day. Patient procedures are impacted and our colleagues are really feeling this. David Selwyn, medical director at SFH, said there had been a “very significant” number of cancellations in the latest round of strikes, with some operations for urgent care and cancer patients had been cancelled.
“It comes at a real cost to our colleagues, our organisation and our patients. The national waiting lists now are close to eight million and the national cost is over one billion.
