GSD says surgeries cancelled due to ongoing issues at GHA

The GSD says elective surgeries at St Bernard's Hospital have had to be cancelled due to staffing issues and bed shortages.

In a statement, Shadow Minister for Health Joelle Ladislaus has highlighted the number of available beds appears to have reached a critical low, with staff vacancies remaining unfilled for lengthy periods of time.

The Opposition believes the combination of these issues is having a direct impact on overall services at the GHA.
