A full review of plans to close three children's heart surgery units has been ordered by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The NHS recommended closing the units at Leeds General Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital in Leicester and the Royal Brompton in west London.
The Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) has been asked to look in detail at how the decisions were reached.
It has been asked to report its findings by 28 February.
Earlier this month a campaign group which is fighting to keep the Leeds unit open started legal proceedings against NHS officials who made the decision.
