thousands of "non-urgent" hospital appointments are being cancelled across the UK because of the queen's funeral on Monday. "non-urgent" is misleading because almost anything other than emergency care has wait times of months, possibly years, and some of those being rescheduled will have to wait weeks if not months, years in the worst cases, to finally have their appointments. This will include mental health assessments, elective surgeries, and so on.

This decision will kill people.
