Although the situation in the hospital has slightly improved, our system remains busy, and we are continuing to monitor the situation daily to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our patients.

While all surgical procedures have gone ahead as planned, we are carefully assessing our capacity to safely maintain the planned schedule, as bed occupancy remains high. We want to reassure you that all clinically urgent procedures will continue as planned, and we are committed to minimising cancellations wherever possible. We fully understand the impact any changes may have on affected patients, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

If your procedure is affected in any way, we will contact you directly as soon as possible to provide guidance and support.
