Interventions: Participants were posted a modified version of a validated quality of life questionnaire with a prepaid return envelope.
Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measures were the financial and psychological impact of the cancellation of elective surgery on patients and their families.
Results: Of the 339 respondents, 163 (48%) were aged
