MQT Answer: Rationing of Elective Surgery
Rationing of Elective Surgery
Question No: 2598 / 2012
Andrew Dismore
Have you made a recent assessment of the impact of rationing of elective surgery by the NHS on public health in London?
Written response from the Mayor
As you know, I have no formal responsibilities for the provision of health services in the capital. It is the responsibility of the NHS to assess the impact of its policies on the health of the population and I expect these discussions to be based on clinical need.
