Start routine operations and screening programme.
I believe that it would be benefical to start routine procedures and screening programmes.
For routine operations - patients could be tested 48 hours prior to procedure and admitted to hospital and keep on ward or single room with no other none case to reduce risk. I fear for the backlog if we don't start routine procedure. My worry is many routine procedure could become emergencies if left too long or the individual will have to suffer significant pain and difficulties in the long term.
I also feel that all screening programmes should be restarted straight away. It is essential to catch cancer early for the test results for treatment.
Other routine appointments could be started in phased but I feel that routine operations and screening programmes is a huge priority and will help to reduce the risk of significant ill health, pain and worry of lots of individuals.
Why the contribution is important
- Standard of life for individuals waiting for surgery.
- Cost to NHS if surgery is left too long and individuals are taken in as an emergency and require alternative treatment as a result.
-Cost to economy if individuals are unable to attend work or work from home due to disability or pain.
- Risk to life as cancer needs to be detected early.
- Reduce the pain, suffering and worry of individuals who are awaiting surgery.
