Freeze the child hospital project

I WISH to congratulate you for your perceptive leading article (‘Master plan must be reconsidered’, October 12).

One cannot oppose the principle of rationalisation of a children’s hospital configuration that is the result of history and accident — rather than common sense or good management.

However, the implementation proposals, as you point out, are deeply flawed and will militate against the best interests of children, at huge and unnecessary expense.
