The table presents information on patients whose planned admission was cancelled by the hospital.

The figures relate to the following specialties which comprise around 90% of admissions to hospital from waiting lists: general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, ENT surgery, ophthalmology, urology, gynaecology & plastic surgery.

The percentage of cancellations is derived from the ratio of the number of cancellations of planned inpatient or day case treatment to the number of admissions from the waiting list.

Cancellation information for both South Ayrshire Hospitals NHS Trust and Law Hospital NHS Trust are under recorded.
