A senior doctor at Birmingham Children's Hospital gave The Observer an insider's account of the many problems there. He spoke on condition of anonymity:
"The Birmingham Children's Hospital is a major regional and national centre of excellence in paediatric care. In some of what we do, we are recognised as being world-class. Yet there aren't enough beds at the hospital for all the children who need to be treated in many of what are called our "tertiary services", such as children who need an organ transplant, or have a flat head, a complex heart problem or a major facial deformity, or who require brain surgery.
