So it begs the question: why? As I've said, given all the commotion regarding the overstretched NHS, they have to reduce the waiting lists or the EU will step in again and insist Britain does not keep its people waiting too long for surgery.
Makes you wonder how they cope in an emergency situation when someone is rushed in who is overweight (or doesn't comply with some other criteria of the modern age) - do that stats show that the majority of those people tend to die during, or shortly after, surgery?
