The Policy Officer (Scrutiny) explained that this was an NHS England review which was looking at the reconfiguration of adult congenital heart surgery services. NHS England was currently engaging with stakeholders on the service specifications, before developing proposals for the location of surgical centres. One of the likely service standards was the co-location of surgical services for children and adult services and, as such, may be affected by the Secretary of State’s response to issues regarding Leeds’ Children’s Hospital. The proposals would be consulted on once developed, and it was likely that a joint Yorkshire and Humber Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee would be convened to respond to the consultation. |
