British Royal News: Cancer Treatments And Maternity Screenings Canceled For Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral

British Royal News suggests that there is some controversy surrounding reports that say cancer treatments and maternity screenings will be canceled for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. Here’s what you need to know.

British Royal News – Cancer Treatments And Maternity Screenings Canceled For Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral

According to new reports, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) trusts are canceling non-urgent appointments due to the funeral, which has become a national holiday. Doctors at one London hospital were reportedly told, “The day of the State Funeral will be treated as a bank holiday so please go ahead and start rescheduling patients,” according to OpenDemocracy.

Some of the canceled appointments included, “hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery, maternity checks and some cancer treatments.”

Of course, it didn’t take long at all for both royal fans and critics alike to weigh in on the matter. Some comments have included, “No one should be denied health care because the queen popped her clogs. Seriously, that is not sane. The queen does not care one whit, as she is not available to care. Funerals are for the living. Charles is proving to be a terrible king,” along with, “Absolutely, and that’s before you even get close to the terrible backlogs and crisis in the NHS at the moment. They need every minute they can get to treat people. You also have funerals being canceled so people are having to deal with that on top of already grieving for their own loved ones.”

Another critic wrote, “This is sheer insanity. They are playing with other people’s lives. I was a patient advocate for a cancer patient and a single day makes a huge difference whether it’s therapeutic care or surgery. The elevation of the queen like some kind of G-d is ridiculous and dangerous.”

British Royal News – Royal Critics Are Outraged

And then there was this comment: “They’re definitely trying to compete with the level of grief that was shown when Diana died. There’s not near the same level of flowers either. I don’t find the two comparable, but it’s just the vanity of the Windsors. Diana was young, her death was a huge shock. The Queen had a good life and died peacefully at an old age – if only we were all guaranteed that in life. She had to go at some point!”
