Children's congenital heart surgery has been suspended at a Leeds hospital while an internal review is carried out.

The chief executive of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said outside experts would be drafted in to help review "all aspects" of care.

The decision followed a meeting with senior NHS officials and the Care Quality Commission on Thursday.

Affected families are being contacted directly by the Trust.

Leeds General Infirmary has been at the centre of a long-running row about whether children's heart services should be moved to other units elsewhere in the country.

I saw this on Aunty this morning. HMG lost the case in court so they do it by the back door instead. Sneaky, very sneaky.
 
See if you can get this morning's Radio 4 Today programme on catch-up. They interviewed the Medical Director of the NHS.
 
Freeman in Newcastle is a very very good hospital. Internationaly recognised. With this there isnt a comp :confused:
