Delayed operations during pandemic

The request was successful.

Dear United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust,

Could you please tell me how many planned operations were delayed between March 2020 and April 2022, and provide me with a breakdown of the types of operations?

Would it also be possible to find out how many of the delayed operations have since gone ahead?

Yours faithfully,

Jamie Waller

Dear Mr Waller

We are writing further to your e-mail to us and our acknowledgement e-mail of your Freedom of Information earlier today, and because we want to be sure that the information you will be receiving is correct, we have a clarification question for you.

We need to make you aware that as a Trust we do not currently record delayed operations, so what we would like to check with you is whether the number of cancelled operations would be acceptable as opposed to the number of delayed operations.

The reason we ask the above question is because we do not wish to assume anything and feel it is better to ask you what you would like in terms of information rather than us guessing and getting this wrong.

Once we receive your answer back, we will formally acknowledge your request again and pass to the relevant team(s) to progress further.

With Kind Regards
