Hospital suspends children's surgery after 'serious concerns' raised However our staff responded selflessly and, with a strengthened team and support from our national clinical experts, have ensured that the failings identified at the turn of the year are now fully addressed and that the hospital continues to provide the high quality care for which it is known and which prevail across our other hospitals. A report about the inspection was due to be published today by the CQC, but was delayed after the hospital made last-minute representations on two issues, the watchdog said. A spokesman for the CQC said: "Following the inspection CQC raised serious concerns with the provider and formally warned them that immediate improvements were required to protect people from coming to harm. As a result of our concerns being raised with them, BMI agreed to voluntarily suspend children's surgical admissions at the hospital and to start making other changes required. We have continued to monitor the hospital closely. Full details of our inspection will be published shortly. BMI is the UK's largest private hospital group, according to its website. The CQC has not yet revealed details of the failings, but Mr Collier said he has written to patients who may have been affected by a "particular incident" . "I want to reassure our patients that the hospital has already been in touch with anyone who may have been affected by a particular incident," he said. I have personally written to all patients who were admitted for treatment at Mount Alvernia in the last year explaining what has happened and providing contact details should they want to discuss the matter further with us. He added that BMI have reviewed its other hospitals and found "no similar issues."
