<p>Information on cancelled elective operations is published quarterly. The attached
table shows how many elective operations were cancelled in England, London and each
health trust in England in each quarter since 2010. Information on the number of cancelled
elective operations as a percentage of elective admissions is only published for England.</p><br
/><p>The number and proportion of cancelled operations remains low in the context
of the millions of operations performed in the National Health Service each year.
Compared to 2009/10, in 2014/15 there were 1.6 million more operations. The proportion
of cancelled elective operations in the first two quarters of 2015/16 was 0.8% which
is the same as the first two quarters of 2009/10.</p><br /><p>Health is a devolved
