Mr. Connor Green:

It did not make much difference. We kept working. During the cyberattack and the pandemic we kept working. It might have made it harder to get patients in but Professor McCormack, the neurosurgeons and I just continued to do our job. It is dishonest of us in any way to blame the cyberattack and the pandemic on the waiting lists in scoliosis and in paediatric orthopaedics. They made it more challenging certainly, but the numbers were there before they started.
