Covid-19: 'This is a situation that is potentially avoidable'

Robin Adair from the Royal College of Surgeons has said the cancellation of cancer surgeries due to a surge in hospital admissions was "potentially avoidable".

Last week, the Belfast Trust had to cancel a number of operations due to the pandemic.

It came just a month after Health Minister Robin Swann published a three-year recovery plan for rebuilding cancer services post-pandemic.
