A hospital in Bristol has apologised to a woman for cancelling her hip operation four times.
Patricia Jones, 74, also has rheumatoid arthritis and a heart condition which means she needs a high dependency bed.
Mrs Jones, who said she is in pain all the time, said she had been told her operations were cancelled when an emergency patient needed the bed instead at the last minute.
North Bristol NHS Trust, said safety was "the most important criteria".
Sacha Karakusevic, from the trust, said it wanted to apologise to Mrs Jones and her family.
