Hospital Investigations
Dail Éireann — 2025-10-02
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I welcome that the Minister outlined a series of dates for engagement, including today. There is some emerging and serious concern about the scope and potential terms of reference for the external review. One area is how it will specifically relate to Crumlin hospital and surgeons operating there, as well as at Cork, Galway and elsewhere across the State and, related to that, how it will apply to children with complex additional comorbidities or needs. Will the Minister commit to ongoing engagement with advocacy groups and representatives on the development of those terms of reference?
