Closed on

To keep the Children's Cardiac unit at Southampton General Hospital open due to its support and success rates.

During the original review process, Southampton was rated as the second-highest performing children's heart surgery centre in England. The unit also had the best survival rate of the ten centres under review - at 98.5%.

More than 10,000 patients visit the hospital each year, which also has support services in Oxford.
