A man has shared his outrage after his 90-year-old mum's hospital appointment was cancelled due to the Queen's funeral.
Urgent NHS appointments have been scrapped due to a newly scheduled bank holiday on Monday (September 19), when the late monarch will be laid to rest. The sudden cancellations have caused anger among 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 yesterday afternoon to say her hospital appointment had been cancelled. Paul was due to take her to Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham on Monday for a follow-up after her recent hospital stay - where doctors had been very concerned about her health.
