Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-26

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

The Crumlin review will be published. The families are being engaged with tomorrow. Crumlin hospital did this review off its own bat given the concerns raised in Temple Street. The very clear advice I have from CHI is that that review did not show higher return rates or complication rates than would have been expected internationally. Yes, we will publish the broader review. We will not be waiting a year. I will expect interim reviews and I will publish those interim reviews. Both Bernard Gloster and I intervened directly to ensure that the reviews - the internal review and the Boston review - were published in full. I never agreed to their not being published. I do not agree with the position taken by CHI and that is why Mr. Gloster and I intervened directly such that they were published.
