The paper which NHS England’s CHD review team submitted to the Board at that time set out that:</p><p> </p><p>“We found no published evidence on the effects of proximity of other services so the proposed standards are based on expert opinion. Our clinical advisers strongly advocated co-location with other paediatric services, though they recognised that not everyone agrees. They considered that while responsiveness was one important factor, it was not the only thing that mattered. Delivering these services effectively requires the input of the wider paediatric multidisciplinary team, and the interaction between these teams on a daily basis, when co-located, is considered to be of significant benefit to patients.”</p><p> </p><p>The full paper can be found on NHS England’s website at:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Item-4-CHD-Report.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Item-4-CHD-Report.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 19/01/2017 16:39:51 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
