Deadline for hospital consultations

Norway's Euro campaign off to a flying start
Norway eased to a 4-1 win over out-classed Northern Ireland in their Women's Euro 2022 opener on Thursday.
Julie Blakstad and Frida Maanum gave Norway the perfect start with goals inside the first 13 minutes at Southampton.
Caroline Graham Hansen's penalty put the two-time European champions on course to ruin Northern Ireland's major women's tournament debut.
Julie Nelson, Northern Ireland's most-capped female player, gave the competition's lowest-ranked nation brief hope of an unlikely comeback just after the interval.
But Guro Reiten's free-kick sealed a convincing success for Martin Sjogren's side, who moved level on three points with hosts England at the top of Group A.
