With 10 million waiting for surgery after Covid here s what you can do while you wait Mirror 5 days ago
Thanks to the pandemic, hospital waiting lists are at an all-time high.
According to the latest figures published in the journal The Lancet Rheumatology, almost 10 million people in the UK are waiting for surgery – up from 4.2million since before Covid hit.
One of the worst hit specialities is orthopaedics, which includes bone and joint treatments such as hip and knee replacements.
Nearly 100,000 patients have had their joint replacement surgery cancelled, and many are struggling to cope with increasing pain and mobility issues.
An alternative route - that didn t impact on residents on country roads - would have to be identified before a full HGV ban is introduced in Duleek.
That s the view of Meath CC, responding to a proposal by Cllr Stephen McKee as part of the new Meath County Development Plan.
That said, Engineer Padraig Maguire did confirm that a proposal already existed in the plan that suggested levels of HGV traffic should be managed in the village.
Cllr McKee was seeking a ban on such vehicles.
Cllr Sharon Tolan said that such a ban was discussed at local level in the past but the big issue was the fear of rat runs because of it.
