Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many operations were cancelled in Yorkshire and the Humber in the most recent 12 months for which figures are available.

This information is not available in the format requested.

NHS England publishes quarterly performance data on the number of last minute elective operations cancelled for non-clinical reasons at national, regional and provider levels. This can be accessed via NHS England’s Statistical work areas webpage at:
