    The NHS in Leeds has apologised to a woman whose operation was cancelled just minutes before she was due to undergo it after being on a waiting list for two years.

    Kim Swales told BBC Radio Leeds she was sent home from hospital, just minutes before her abdominal surgery was due to take place:

    Ms Swales said her operation has been postponed multiple times. She is one of more than 67,000 people currently on hospital waiting lists in Leeds.

    Dr Phil Wood, chief medical officer at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We are very sorry that Ms Swales’s operation was cancelled at such short notice and apologise for the distress this has caused.

    "This was not a decision we took lightly and our teams are working hard to reschedule Ms Swales’s operation as soon as possible."

    St James's Hospital

    Dr Wood added that hospitals continue to be "very busy" and there is "significant demand" for services across the city.

    The government has already said it is spending billions of pounds trying to bring waiting times down.

    "She Was Walking Home", external is the title of a series of podcasts based on interviews with women living and working in York.

    It has been produced by the community arts collective Next Door But One.

    QR codes at 20 venues allow you to listen to the episodes around the city.

    She told BBC Radio York: "It was empowering actually, it's a lot to share but knowing that it's in safe hands and hopefully it's going to resonate with other women. Sometimes you you just need to hear that it's not just you."

    The Spurn Lightship will today move from Hull Marina to Dunston's shipyard on William Wright Dock to be repaired and restored before reopening to visitors in Spring 2023.

    The Spurn Lightship

    The ship, built in 1927, served for 48 years as a navigation aid in the Humber Estuary.

    The city's last surviving sidewinder deep-water trawler, the Arctic Corsair, will make her penultimate journey tomorrow, weather permitting, from her current berth on Alexandra Dock to the local shipyard.

    Preservation work on both vessels is part of the £30.3m Hull Maritime project, jointly funded by Hull City Council and The National Lottery Fund.

    The Spurn Lightship

    Richard Bourne, managing director and co-owner of Dunston (Ship Repairs) Limited, said: “Moving the city’s historic ships is both exciting and significant.

    “It’ll be wonderful to see the ships on the water again, making their penultimate journeys down the Humber to our shipyard.

    “This is a very rare and unique project for any shipyard company, and we are really grateful and proud to have this opportunity."

  20. Bradford families 'massively' hit by benefit reductionpublished at 09:47 British Summer Time 5 October 2021

    Bradford will be the city hardest hit by the end of the £20-a-week boost to Universal Credit, a charity says.

    Josie barlow

    The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has calculated that in the Bradford West constituency 82% of families with children will be affected.

    In neighbouring Bradford East, they suggest that figure is 71%.

    At the Bradford Central Food Bank in the city, manager Josie Barlow says that users will be affected "massively" by the benefit reduction.

    Ms Barlow's team, who helped 2,500 people a month at the height of the pandemic, said some people were facing a 21% cut in their income.

    She added: "Especially in winter, with electricity bills, fuel prices are rising, that combined with the furlough scheme ending if really going to push more people to needing a foodbank."

    The government says the measure was only temporary and, now the economy is recovering from the pandemic, the focus should shift onto getting people back into work.

    It also says the uplift costs the public purse £6bn a year.
