Last month elective orthopaedic activity at NUH was at 124% compared to November 2019.

We have now eliminated almost all 65-week waits for orthopaedic surgery and we are on track to eliminate almost all 52-week waits by March 2025.

Good luck to Chris and Dianne in the final of #Strictly this evening. Chris is blind as a result of an inherited progressive condition called retinitis pigmentosa, or RP for short. There is currently no treatment and no cure.
