Bristol and West hospitals announce Queen funeral arrangements

Southmead Hospital in Bristol will be providing its usual Bank Holiday services

Hospitals across the West of England have clarified whether operations and appointments will be cancelled on the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.

The day has been declared a bank holiday and this has meant some hospitals are postponing treatments.

The NHS said patients should be contacted by hospitals to let them know whether their appointment is on or not.

Non-urgent procedures will be rearranged and hospitals, community, primary, and mental health services are contacting individuals directly where appointments are being rescheduled. Urgent procedures will still go ahead.

In a statement the Integrated Care Board for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, which covers Southmead Hospital, the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Weston General, said it "is committed to supporting our colleagues and those in our care to have the opportunity to pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate her reign."
