Surgeons are calling for specialist surgical hubs to be set up in England to tackle the “colossal backlog” of non-urgent procedures.
The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) said the hubs should be developed to allow planned surgery to take place in every region of the country in the event of another Covid-19 outbreak, or other severe pressures caused by flu.

The RCS has urged the Government to spend an extra £1 billion on surgery annually over the next five years as part of plans to improve surgical services.
