Stephen Camley, 44, has been on a hospital waiting list for a vasectomy since 2019. Fed up waiting, he contacted his local health trust, who told him the system was at a "standstill" and referred him to the community GP service.

GPs are trained to perform vasectomies, to help tackle hospital waiting lists. They are angry they cannot provide this service, according to the chair of the Northern Ireland GP Committee, Dr Alan...
