Greg Mulholland, Lib Dem MP for Leeds North West, welcomed the decision to reopen the unit but demanded an investigation into the decision to close it. He called upon Sir Bruce to explain his actions, claiming that the figures used to justify the closure were incomplete and should never have been released. "It's been very notable that we haven't heard anything from Sir Bruce Keogh over the last extraordinary week," he told Radio 4"s Today programme. 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. It's very good news that the surgery is reopening but there are many unanswered questions. 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. We have been told they were not complete and should never have been released. It seems fairly clear that the decision to suspend surgery was wrong and that's the question we want answered.
