The information comes in a deferred answer to a question for written reply in Tynwald.
David Anderson tells old Onchan MHK Zac Hall that around 560 had been called off within a week of the due date and a similar number within a month of the procedure.

Over 700 were cancelled by the hospital for reasons including the patient being medically unfit, a lack of theatre time, or a lack of beds because of emergency admissions.

Mr Anderson says 622 procedures were called off by patients, with 28 failing to arrive for ops and two people who didn’t want to go ahead with the operation.
