A man has blasted the NHS after his 90-year-old mum's appointment was cancelled due to the Queen's funeral. Some NHS appointments have been scrapped due to a newly scheduled bank holiday on Monday, September 19, for the late monarch's funeral.
The sudden cancellations have caused outrage amongst those in need - with many having already waited weeks to be seen due to long waiting lists. Paul Patrick, 67, is furious after his mum, Ida, was left in tears when she received a phone call to say her hospital appointment had been cancelled.
Paul was due to take her to Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham, West Midlands, next Monday for a follow-up after her recent hospital stay - where doctors had been very concerned about her health. She has now had the appointment cancelled and not rescheduled, leaving her distraught and her son livid.
