I have seen this thread somewhere and have tried looking for it to no avail.If the subject has been covered can admin.attach this comments.Thanks. Just heard that operations are to resume at LGI which must be a great relief to parents of children who were just about to have operations.It's an absolute disgrace that the unit was closed by the committee headed by Sir Bruce Keogh based on such spurious evidence that he put forward last week. It would seem even after the court case was won to keep the unit open,the NHS seem detirmined to close it by whatever means. Sir Bruce should apologise to all the people connected to the unit and the patients he has alarmed by his actions. he should then think about his future as head of the NHS.

I would be more concerned if the Neo-natal surgery unit closed - there were only 2 units in the country that could have tackled my nephew's op about 13 years ago (Gt Ormand St and LGI). He came through with no problems at all.

Its not only the children my sister in law was due for major heart surgery last Friday.I took her down on Thusday afternoon she had to stay in over night the operation was for eight o clock Friday morning she was not told untill nine thirty that it was canceled even though they knew on the Thursday that it would not take place.The surgeon had come over from Denmark to do the operation she cant come back for two months.My sister in law had to syke her self up to be ready for the operation so this let down has hit her hard were talking about a operation that could take up to twelve hours with her being put into a comer for three days afterwards.I wish this guy was in front of me now i would have a thing or two to say to him.

Oh dear I'm sad to hear that as I know by personal experience how traumatic cancelled ops can effect people.This Keogh chap has a lot to answer for!
