NHS England's budget freeze halted elective surgeries in Greater Manchester, delaying care for over 20 Bolton patients despite increased funding.
A funding pause by NHS England has led to the cancellation of elective surgeries, including hip replacements, at private hospitals in Greater Manchester, affecting over 20 Bolton residents since December 2025.
The change, part of a new fixed budget model, limits spending to allocated funds, forcing temporary halts in treatments despite a £241 million funding increase for the region.
Patients, some waiting over a year, report worsening pain and distress after last-minute cancellations with no clear rescheduling, while MPs express concern over transparency and access to timely care.
