Parents of children who died on a children’s cardiac ward were let down, according to an independent review.
Despite making 32 recommendations, the report said the outcomes of care at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children were “broadly comparable” with other specialist units for children with heart conditions.
The chair of the review, Eleanor Grey QC, said: “What we’ve tried to do, in order to be accountable and transparent, about our work is not only publish the main report – which tries to look at the system on a systemic basis – but also to produce 27 individual reports for families to try and answer their concerns and questions personally.”
Stephen Jenkins is the recipient of one of those reports.
