Validate trusts providing children's acute services for child-centred policies, staff, and facilities
Recommendation
After completion of a pilot exercise, all trusts which provide acute hospital services for children should be subject to a process of validation to ensure that they have appropriate child- and family-centred policies, staff, and facilities to provide a good standard of care for children. Trusts which are not so validated should not, save in emergencies, provide acute hospital services for children.

No specific government response document or implementation report for the Bristol Heart Inquiry recommendations was identified in the provided public sources. No specific legislation or policy detailing a pilot exercise or validation process for trusts providing acute hospital services for children was found.
