Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Delays in Accessing Scoliosis Treatment and Surgery: Discussion
Mr. Liam Woods:
There is support for paediatric orthopaedics within the model of care and I will defer to some extent to Ms Kelly here. We need to recognise that the most intensive work is done in Crumlin and Temple Street hospitals. Cappagh is a very good base to do a significant volume of work, both age and acuity-adjusted, if the Deputy follows my meaning here. Yes, we are very supportive of doing work for children in paediatrics in Cappagh as we are indeed for adults. It is an excellent centre.
