Theresa May has apologised for delays to NHS operations, saying she knows it's "difficult", "frustrating" and "disappointing".

The Prime Minister had previously denied the NHS was in crisis saying it was “better prepared for this winter than ever before”.

The NHS was forced to enact emergency measures after hospitals failed to keep up with the high demand.

This included cancelling an estimated 55,000 operations such as hip replacements were axed until February.

Jeremy Corbyn said it was not 'good enough' when the 'Tory Government has caused this crisis'.

He tweeted: "Nurses, doctors and patients are pleading with her to properly fund our health service, but she is ignoring them."

The massive immigration invasion is destroying the UK Health System...and they can’t even admit it.

Theresa May needs to learn that “not to decide is to decide”.

if you’re not a protected class and you’re sick, the NHS will kill you.

This.

This is why you don’t socialize medicine and make it government run.

If this had been a private hospital the government would do its duty and defend the people and heads would roll.

As it is the government leaders in charge will apologize and promise to do better as people die.

Betcha the Princess has a whole wing of the NHS hospital set aside for her private birthing ... old people, emergencies, dying children be dammed and sent home to tough it out like good peasants.

But they’ll spend millions on royal weddings. It’s all worth a good show!

I am sure the Royals use private health care, as does the PM.

Charlie Gard’s treatment didn’t tell you anything? That wouldn’t have cost them anything.
