A surgeon at a children's heart unit has been asked by a health trust to stop work over concerns about his work.

It is understood the concerns do not relate to children's heart surgery but to his adult cardiac work.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said an "assessment" of his practices was under way but it was not about "adverse mortality or morbidity figures".

A review of child heart surgery in the UK is taking place with some units facing closure, including Leeds

The Freeman hosp in Newcastle is a very good place. My mate is one of the longest living heart tranplant patients in the uk. He goes to the Freeman 😉
