There were a number of surgeries cancelled in mid-August because of trolley numbers. I welcome that there have been improvements within the health system. However, UHL always seems to fall behind. There were surgeries cancelled over a two-week period because of people being on trolleys. There is now a backlog of surgeries. What are the plans? While we are making greater efficiencies to reduce trolley numbers and people waiting for surgeries in UHL, things are going the opposite way.
