Date: 15 May 2023 to 15 May 2026

Effects of the doctors/nurses strikes on MRI scans.

I wondered if it would be possible to have stats on the number of MRI appointments that were due to take place at your hospitals between March 13th and March 17th 2023 and the number that actually took place on those days.

    Medway NHS Foundation Trust can confirm that 430 MRI scans were performed between 13/03/2023 to 17/03/2023. The MRI department cancelled four patient scans due to the doctors strike on 13/03/2023. No other scans were cancelled due to the strike between 13/03/2023 to 17/03/2023.
