Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Colm Henry:

As I was about to say before the Deputy referred to the families who are concerned, the way clinical decisions are made and the revelations that came through these reports, I am certainly confident now that there is a strong clinical leadership in the spinal unit and orthopaedic unit. I am confident that that leadership is translating through common sets of standards, multidisciplinary team-making and decisions for surgery that are made truly by multidisciplinary teams rather than by individuals. I am confident that those structures, which represent good clinical practice anywhere, are now in place in CHI in the departments where these reports emanated from.
