The region's only children's heart surgery unit is safe according to a review, but 16 families were let down by the level of care.
Review concludes children's heart unit is safe
It is safe - but mistakes were still made. That's the verdict of a review published today into the children's heart surgery unit at Leeds General Infirmary.
The health trust has been forced to apologise to 16 families it let down, but the unit, which was closed for two weeks last year over concerns about death rates, is safe to treat some of the region's most poorly children. David Hirst reports.
