MPs and parents of children treated at the hospital expressed anger that families had been left in fear and uncertainty, because of Sir Bruce’s decision to act on “experimental” data which appeared to be deeply flawed.  Greg Mulholland MP , Lib Dem MP for Leeds North West, said the conduct and judgement of Sir Bruce, and of Prof Sir Roger Boyle, the former heart tsar who passed him the unaudited analysis should now be subject to an investigation by Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary.  He said: “This whole affair has been an utter shambles and heart surgery in Leeds should never have been suspended in the first instance and the manner in which it was done is a disgrace.”  “A full investigation by the Secretary of State now has to take place and assurances have to be given that the continuing review will be undertaken in a fair and impartial way and serious questions over the conduct and judgment of Sir Bruce Keogh and Sir Roger Boyle need to be addressed.”  He said it was “very notable that we haven’t heard anything from Sir Bruce Keogh over the last extraordinary week,”  “We still haven’t had a full explanation or justification of that decision or the figures that were used to make it and that simply isn’t acceptable,” Mr Mullholland said.  “You don’t march into a hospital at 8am and threaten to shut down a surgery unit or threaten people’s jobs when you haven’t properly checked the figures.”  Lois Brown, 34, whose daughter Amelie, now 5, has undergone three heart operations at the unit, said that after the initial relief at the news that the unit is due to re-open, many families felt “absolutely furious” that they had been put in such fear.  Mrs Brown, from Skipton, North Yorkshire, said: “It is frightening enough to have a tiny baby with a condition that needs major high-risk surgery, without being told that the surgery is delayed, or that you will be moved around the country until they can find somewhere.”  Sir Bruce did not respond to calls.  NHS England said that findings from a review of mortality outcome data and analysis, staffing, patient concerns and complaint, and concerns raised by professionals had been examined, and that surgery at the unit would restart in a few days, subject to independent validation of the figures.
MPs have demanded an inquiry into the conduct of Britain&rsquo;s most senior doctor   and accused him of presiding over an &ldquo;utter shambles&rdquo; for forcing the   suspension of surgery at a children&rsquo;s heart unit which is now set to reopen.
