About Safe and Sustainable
Safe, sustainable and world class. Not ordinary, OK or just good enough. Children and young people who need surgery must have excellent care.
Safe and Sustainable is currently leading two national reviews of specialist paediatric services; a review of children’s congenital heart services and a review of children’s neurosurgical services. The reviews are led on behalf of the 10 Specialised Commissioning Groups and their constituent Primary Care Trusts.
Canvassing Opinions of every Stakeholder
The purpose of Safe and Sustainable is to canvas the opinions of all stakeholders, including professional bodies, clinicians, patients and their families, to weigh the evidence for and against different views of service delivery and to develop proposals that will deliver high quality and sustainable services into the future.
This section of the website contains information about Safe and Sustainable, including how you can participate in these reviews.
The NHS is reviewing how it delivers congenital heart services to children in England and Wales. This is at the request of national parent groups, NHS clinicians and their professional associations.
As part of the review a public consultation on the way children's congenital heart services should be provided in the future has been carried out.
In order to ensure the best outcomes for children who need neurosurgery, surgeons in the field and other clinicians have called for a review of how we deliver these services to children in England.
