Ms Paula Kelly:

Clinically, we are strong because all our surgeons have trained abroad. When they train with a fellowship, they continue links with the group. We have a very strong almost global network of advice so if we need advice from someone, we will contact them. We would certainly like to get to a position where parents do not have to go abroad. Parents looking after children with a disability have enough on their plate without feeling they must advocate through the media or political forums so we would definitely like to get to that point.
