This report looks into the issues facing orthopaedic care in England
based on the views of a leading surgeon. It warns that the provision of
orthopaedic care could soon suffer from falling quality and rising
waiting lists unless fundamental changes are made to the way the service
is delivered. It proposes a series of reforms for a joined up approach
across the NHS to improve orthopaedic treatment. It also warns that this
decline in quality could spread across services if not addressed,
resulting in increased waiting times and widespread rationing.
