This information is not available in the format requested.

NHS England publishes quarterly performance data on cancelled elective operations, which includes national, regional and provider level activity, and this can be accessed at:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/cancelled-elective-operations/cancelled-ops-data/

Data for quarter 3 (October – December 2017) was published on 8 February 2018 with quarter 4 (January – March 2018) due for release on 10 May 2018. This includes figures for those last minute cancellations where the provider did not offer an alternative admission date within 28 days.
