More details

Both the Royal Brompton and Leicester came out fighting. “We are confident that our clinical outcomes are now among the best in the country, so we strongly disagree with NHS England’s decision and will not sit by whilst they destroy our fabulous service,” said John Adler, chief executive at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS trust.

The Royal Brompton signalled that it would rally the sort of support it had from campaigners last time its service was under threat.
