Elin Jones reveals extent of cancelled NHS ops
A Freedom of Information request by Plaid Cymru has revealed that there were 174,996 cancelled operations at hospitals in Wales during 2013-14, 2014-15 and the first six months of 2015-16. This is an average of 1,346 operations being cancelled every week.
