Orthopaedic surgeons are concerned about the backlog of people waiting in pain for surgery after Covid forced cancellations earlier in the year. The Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons say 10-thousand patients had surgery cancelled during level 4 lockdown, and the catch up is still happening in a system that was already stretched. The Association's president Dr Peter Robertson joins Kathryn to discuss what he thinks could help prevent delays in elective surgery into the future.
