Ms Lucy Nugent:

I can clarify that. There were originally 2,259 children involved. The children who had surgery in Crumlin hospital, bar one patient, were deemed to have compliant surgery, for want of a better word. That consists of 446 children. The only requirement there is that they are followed up to skeletal maturity, until their bones fully mature, which is a routine practice. That is being done in a normal outpatient activity. The remainder of the children are being seen through a multidisciplinary team clinical review to establish the status of the children’s hips now. That involves Temple Street and Cappagh children. Subsequent to that will be this expert panel.
