Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland

I will quote something the Minister said because I have heard what Ms Hardiman has said previously. He stated:
I never agreed to their not being published. I do not agree with the position taken by [Children's Health Ireland] ...
I do not agree with it; I doubt anybody in the room does. I have heard what Ms Hardiman has said. I need to move on to other questions but am simply saying to her that transparency is really important. Reports, all reports, need to be published in full.
I need to move on now to my next question. Did Ms Hardiman attend a meeting at some time in February 2020 that was attended by a number of consultants, one of whom is the subject of the Medical Council complaint at the moment, at which the issues of experimental techniques and the use of the metal rods referred to earlier and the spring-assisted techniques that have also been mentioned were discussed?
