Cambridge hospital reviews care of 800 patients operated on by a suspended children's surgeon.

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is reviewing the care of nearly 800 patients operated on by a suspended children's surgeon, whose identity is withheld for legal reasons. Concerns about the surgeon's practices, initially raised in 2015, led to the suspension after an initial review found that treatment outcomes for nine children were below expected standards. A panel of expert clinicians will assess the care provided, while a separate investigation by Verita will determine if earlier action could have been taken.
