NHS England is currently reviewing congenital heart services for adults and children, including paediatric cardiac surgical services. The review aims to:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- secure the best outcomes for all patients;<\/p>
<\/p>
- tackle variation; and<\/p>
<\/p>
- improve patient experience.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The review has developed a set of draft standards and service specifications which are currently out to public consultation. The consultation runs until 8 December. Further details can be found at:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation/congenital-heart-disease-standards<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There are no centres in Wales providing paediatric congenital cardiac surgery and so patients typically travel to England for surgery. NHS England is working with colleagues in Wales to ensure Welsh residents are aware of the review and able to respond to the consultation.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England will work with providers to help ensure that services meet the required standards.<\/p>

Figures for NHS England and the NHS London area are shown in the following table. Figures for Wales are not collected centrally.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
It is important to note that these figures also include practice mergers and takeovers and do not provide an accurate representation of activity or service provision. For example, the merger of three practices would show as three practices closing and one opening. In many cases, practices listed in these figures as having closed will have in fact merged, and will continue to see patients.<\/p>
