Health board to resume non-urgent surgeries amid drop in Covid patients NON-urgent elective surgery is to return in hospitals across Lanarkshire, health board bosses have confirmed. NHS Lanarkshire chiefs say the move is part of the gentle remobilisation of the NHS amid the gradual decline of Covid-19 cases in the area.

Judith Park, NHS Lanarkshire director of acute services, said: “As part of NHS Lanarkshire’s plan to safely redesign and restart services affected by Covid-19, we are now in a position to gradually and safely restart some non-urgent elective care.
