Geet ready for the Lincolnshire Education Excellence Awards!
Seventy non-urgent operations and 300-400 outpatient appointments were cancelled as junior doctors in Lincolnshire began strikes over pay on Monday.
“We are very grateful to our consultant and associate specialist colleagues who are covering those shifts, stepping up to make sure patient safety won’t be compromised. “A recent survey showed that two-thirds of doctors are considering leaving the NHS and so I would say I’m really sorry that those appointments have been cancelled, but in the big scheme of things we’re trying to protect the long-term health of the NHS and we want everyone to have timely access to clinics and operations and everything going forward and we feel this is a necessary part of that.
“But there will be others that might go beyond that period. We’ll do everything we can to get them in as quickly as possible.”Mr Morgan declined to say whether he thought that was fair, saying “My job is to run the hospitals.”He added: “It’s clearly increased the risk to us of keeping our services going. It’s inconvenient to the public and extra work for other colleagues. Our job is to keep things going.
