Clarification - This article (BMJ 2017;357:j1779, doi:10.1136/bmj.j1779) gives the impression that a letter to managers at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital warning about the safety of the service was written by Ross Craigie, clinical lead for paediatric surgery, as an individual. This is misleading. The letter was in fact written on behalf of a group of surgeons (the Department of Paediatric Surgery). We apologise for this inaccuracy.
