蜜芽传媒

The 蜜芽传媒 has learnt that many more operations at English hospitals have been cancelled than previously made public.

Tony Moule, who is 69, needed an operation to stop bone touching his spinal cord, which causes him great pain and could eventually lead to paralysis.

He was told he needed surgery for his back last year, but it was cancelled four times before the operation finally took place in early January.

A Cambridge University Hospitals spokesman said they apologise unreservedly to Mr Moule.

In a statement, the trust said: "Cancelling operations is not a decision the hospital takes lightly... Unfortunately, when clinically urgent cases come in and the hospital is under extreme pressure there is a need to cancel some operations."
