Estimates for NHS England include increased deaths from colorectal cancer of 15-16% due to the Covid 19 pandemic [4] . We will have to adapt to its presence within our communities and implement systems and processes within our health services that allow patients with colorectal problems to receive the care and surgery they require. The challenges for colorectal services that are this generation's to solve in the most inclement of circumstances are likely to provide real dividends for our patients in the long-term.	./cache/cord-033196-e2cejj95.txt	./txt/cord-033196-e2cejj95.txt
