Thursday May 26
A fairly quiet health news day today. Monkeybox may have been with us for longer than we think, a trust in the West Midlands may see its ambulance service collapse over the summer if handover delays are not dealt with, and the NHS has performed the world’s first ever double hand transplant for the autoimmune disease scleroderma.
