Holiday entitlement

Hi all, I would like some advice on carrying over holiday to the next year. 
I work full time (37.5hrs) in health care so have worked through the pandemic and have continued to get holiday entitlement. 
My partner is due to have an operation and I agreed with my manager that my remaining holiday (2.6 weeks) would be set aside for time off for this purpose.
Unfortunately due to covid 19 the operation has been postponed and now we have been told it should be done between now and March but no guarantees.
I have spoken with my manager and asked if it does not go ahead during this time can my holiday be transferred to the next year (April)?
I was told the maximum I could transfer is one week is this true? 
Would this be relevant in my circumstance?

Thank you

    I believe it is up to the employer, there is nothing in there which states you have to be allowed to carry it over.

    However, if it does go over to next holiday year, you can still take 1.6 weeks of next years allowance to cover it, so not 100% sure why its gonna be an issue. They seem to be being flexible with the postponements
