NHS England public consultation on very specialist children's cancer services
NHS England (London and South East regions) has launched a public consultation on the proposed future location of very specialist cancer treatment services for children living in south London and much of south east England. The consultation started on 26 September and will close at midnight on 18 December 2023. The consultation will help NHS England decide where the proposed future Principal Treatment Centre for these children should be.
If you would like to participate in the public questions section of the meeting for this consultation, please email the partnership office.
Post meeting note
During the meeting there was a reference to a Freedom of Information request relating to the number of available level 3 intensive care beds at the Evelina London Hospital between 1 January 2023 and 31 August 2023.
NHS England would like to clarify that the 25 beds referenced within its pre-consultation business case, and subsequently at the meeting, reflect the total number of beds typically in use at Evelina London.
This is 19 beds within the paediatric intensive care unit, plus 6 of 10 beds in a newly established high dependency unit. Evelina London has an ability to increase the number beyond this to accommodate surges in demand. The total capacity in these units in Evelina London is 30 beds.
