Supply disruption frustrating for patients and staff

Responding to NHS England’s letter to NHS leaders on disruption to the supply of bone cement products, Rory Deighton, acute and community care director speaking on behalf of NHS Providers and the NHS Confederation said:

"This disruption is very frustrating and disappointing for patients and for staff who have been working so hard to tackle long waits.

"Health leaders will do all they can to minimise the impact and direct current supplies to where they’re needed most.

"They will also work to ensure that patients affected have the information and the support they need.

"People should come forward for treatment as planned unless they are told otherwise by their trust."
