Paediatric heart surgery suspended at Oxford hospital
March 4, 2010
The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford has decided to suspend its cardiac services offered to children after 4 patients have died within the last few months.
This is not the first time this hospital has come under the spotlight however, as it has emerged that back in 2002 there had been a report criticising “many aspects of the service” regarding the Oxford hospital where there was concern of a high mortality rate of cardiac surgery patients.
A spokesperson for the hospital stated that an investigation is underway into the issues that have been raised during the temporary suspension of the paediatric cardiac surgery service they offer, with the most urgent patients waiting for surgery to be transferred to other hospitals.
