'Unbelievable and terrible' Glasgow responds as NHS Greater Glasgow suspends all non-urgent operations amid pressure
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed it will suspend all non-urgent operations amid rapidly rising pressures on their A&E departments.
Maria Gunning said: "Its unbelievable. I'm still waiting four years now for an operation and I'm not going to get it this year either because maybe they think it's not urgent, but my life condition doesn't improve without it." Ann Dunn said: "This is absolutely terrible in this day/age. I do feel sorry for everyone working in the NHS these days, especially with the conditions, pay rate, shortage of staff, expected to work too many hours etc."
Meanwhile, some pointed to the current difficulties in booking face-to-face GP appointments as part of the reason for the pressures on the NHS.
