Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. In the context of scoliosis and other conditions in respect of which surgery is urgently required, we are anxious that such surgery would be available to children. Covid-19 impacted on paediatric care and on adult care. I am not sure of the clinical context here but I will examine this and determine the current position in terms of the delays.
