Minnie Baxter, 77, from Chesterfield, became the 30,000th patient to be treated at the NHS treatment centre which helps to reduce NHS waiting lists for orthopaedic procedures.

She said: “I’d heard a lot of good things about the centre and was thrilled that just three weeks after having x-rays I was booked in for my operation.”
“I’m so pleased with my new hip and how straightforward everything was. I couldn’t believe how quickly I was back up on my feet without any pain.”
“The service was brilliant and I’ve been telling everybody I know how wonderful the place is.”
