Maggie Boye (Chief Exec of the NHS Trust) said "Our partners and ourselves are now in a position to reassure those families coming to Leeds for treatment that our hospital is as safe as any children's heart surgery centre in England."
I really don't think that the saga is over yet: - there's no word on the statistics that were used as justification for shutting down surgery in the first place - were they right or incorrectly analysed; are senior figures in the NHS 'out to get' the Childrens Surgical Heart Unit; what's happening with regards to the two 'junior' consultants - are they still in charge ? Lastly and possibly most importantly is Leeds the correct venue for the unit or is the move over to Newcastle to be re-instigated especially in light of the apparent mismanagement at the moment.
Time will no doubt tell and I would guess this is a subject we will need to return to.
