In reply: The points made by three senior surgeons at The Children's Hospital at Westmead Hospital, emphasising important areas of progress in general paediatric surgery, are valid and point to the wide range of advancing activities in paediatric care.

Given the difficulty of covering all areas in a brief article, I am pleased that the Letters to the Editor section of the Journal provides another opportunity to broaden the discussion.
