HOSPITALS across the county will carry out planned operations as usual following cancellations after an ‘exceptionally busy weekend’.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust postponed planned non-urgent operations on Monday and Tuesday.

As of yesterday, however, normal service has been resumed.

Director of clinical services Paul Brennan said: “I would like to thank our patients for bearing with us during this exceptionally busy period and to apologise once more to all those whose operation we had to postpone.”
