Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) routine appointments and (b) red flag referrals were cancelled or postponed during the covid-19 outbreak.
This question was answered on 5th May 2020
The collection of information on cancelled appointments has been suspended to free up capacity within the health system during the COVID-19 outbreak.
‘Red flag referrals’ are only used in Northern Ireland. Health is a devolved issue and is dealt with by Health and Social Care Northern Ireland and therefore the information requested is not available.
