Cancer and heart care at risk from strike - NHS England

  • The ongoing doctors' strike in the UK's NHS is compromising urgent heart and cancer care, with chemotherapy and support for cancer patients and patients with heart failure being affected.
  • Over one million appointments and treatments have been postponed since the strike action began in December. NHS England is concerned about the cumulative effect of the repeated walkouts, as it has left services less able to cope.
  • The British Medical Association disagrees with NHS England's assessment, stating that the issues are due to bad planning by hospitals and that the Christmas Day cover model is safe.
