NHS England's National Emergency Pressures Panel, which met for the second time on Tuesday, said it had extended the deadline for deferral of all non-urgent inpatient elective care - such as hip or knee replacements - to 31 January, to free up capacity for the sickest of patients.
But it said cancer operations and time-critical procedures should go ahead as planned.
NHS England also gave hospitals the green light to put patients in mixed sex wards.

Mick, sorry to hear about your nephew - hope he is on the road to recovery. You feel so helpless when young children are unwell.
