The Editor of the journal has agreed to a request from the authors that the ethics statement should be changed to improve its clarity. This request was received in October 2019. Due to an internal miscommunication at the publisher the correction was not made. The publisher apologises for this oversight. The new statement is as follows:

‘The North Somerset & South Bristol Research Ethics Committee decided that the collection and analysis of clinical data collected by the regional specialist service for service evaluation did not require ethical review by a National Health Service Research Ethics Committee or approval from the National Health Service Research & Development Office (07/Q2006/48).’
