Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to improve the adequacy of clinical decision‑making for children with complex cardiac or respiratory conditions across urgent and emergency care settings.

NHS England commissions Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) to manage organisational delivery for the most vulnerable children in need of care, and work with commissioners and providers to improve the quality of that care.
