Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland
Ms Paula Kelly:
It is not necessarily the length of time. If there is a very complex patient, for example, a very small baby, there might be multiple surgical teams involved, where there is a first team and then a second team. There is a huge variety of complexity unlike, say, an adult hospital, where the procedures would be more standardised, if you like, whereas in paediatrics there tends to be high complexity.
