Health (Scoliosis Treatment Services) Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-19
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

Reference has been made to outsourcing services internationally. The Minister has indicated that the money will be spent where necessary but, ideally, the treatment would be in this country.
Reviews were carried out in the past, including, for example, the Boston review. Progress has been made on the recommendations of the Boston review into paediatric orthopaedics. Would the Minister like to comment on the implementation of the recommendations? Much progress has been made but some of the recommendations still remain to be implemented.
