Rejected petition Stop the closure of East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre (Glenfield)

NHS England are looking to cease children's heart surgery at Leicester’s Glenfield Hospital.

More details

Clinical outcomes for patients are among the best in the country, cancellation rates are better than the national average and patient and family satisfaction rates is 99%!!

The unit is only one of a handful which has an extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) service, providing 50% of all capacity nationally.

Paediatric intensive care services located at Leicester Royal Infirmary, which are supported by the EMCHC, would also be under threat, with their viability seriously compromised.
