Lack of planned treatment

Story from nhs.uk

"Lack of planned treatment"

About: Bishop Auckland Hospital

I have been due to have knee arthroscopy surgery after seeing the doctor at BAGH early part of the year. I have asthma so after my preassesment was told I would be admitted into the HDU and last on the admission to surgery list.

I have to have surgery at Darlington and this has been cancelled twice now with a new date planned for the 13/6/16. If this is also cancelled I will make a formal complaint through pals and the chief executive. I am a registered mental health nurse who is unable to work as I have repeatedly fallen down and both knees have the same problem. I only want my surgery done so I can recover and return to work.
