Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Money has been spent; therefore, we go in and diligently, in a detailed way, find out where the money was spent. We do know that an additional 200 clinicians and so on were appointed and that there is a fifth theatre there. That is not all not directed to scoliosis. Of course, quite a significant amount of that will be of benefit to scoliosis patients. There have been other issues within the scoliosis world, as we know, which have had an impact. The Deputy has not referred to them, but we all know the current unfortunate situation. There are issues in respect of CHI's oversight of this also, but those issues cannot be interrogated without having a comprehensive audit in terms of facts.
