Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I had a very good meeting with the new consultant surgeon who is heading up a paediatric spinal surgery unit, Mr. David Moore. Deputy McDonald may have met him. He is a very accomplished individual and I must say that I left the meeting with a great degree of confidence in terms of the work that he is undertaking. I will have to come back to the Deputy directly, and will do so today, on the two specific questions she asked. I am very clear on the second opinion and on the ability to access treatment abroad. On the treatment abroad issue, I had a discussion with Mr. Moore at the meeting and my understanding is that it is being arranged. On the second opinion issue, I need to check that but will revert to the Deputy on both issues today.
