A LEADING specialist has accused national NHS managers of writing a “grotesquely unfair” report on Leeds children’s heart surgery unit.
Retired Leeds consultant Dr John Gibbs accused health service bosses of “shafting” staff at the unit over last month’s report, which was highly critical about the care of 16 patients.
Dr Gibbs has written to the medical director of NHS England Bruce Keogh to express his outrage that no analysis or response to the complaints was included.
He said: “The overall message you have given and have appeared to be determined to give...is that the Leeds paediatric cardiac service is dodgy and needs sorting and that the staff are callous and uncaring. This is statistical nonsense and is grotesquely unfair to all involved.”
