A woman trapped in the crisis on the waiting list for a Northern Ireland hospital may not be able to travel for essential surgery due to the wreckage of her Covid-19 passport.
the woman, who is due to travel to Lithuania on Sunday for a hip replacement, has so far been unable to obtain a Covid vaccine certificate to prove she is twice vaccinated.
She has been forced to travel abroad for surgery due to spiraling hospital waiting lists, which can see patients here wait up to 10 years for procedures to treat painful and debilitating conditions. .
